I had a cracking hunt this morning at one of my old permission sites.
With the cooler weather , due to light rain/drizzle, thanks to Oma, i headed to an old permission
I dont usually use a pick for digging but the ground is just so bloody dry and hard .
Unfortunately that was to cause a bit of damage to the shilling but on closer inspection that coin was already damaged .
The first target really set the mood :8 within the first 5 mins of being on the ground i dug a George 3 1819 half crown
The shilling was next followed by another silver ... a sixpence ... also a bullshead
I couldnt believe it ... 3 silvers ... all George 3 ... in less than an hour !
A few musket balls , harmonica reeds and buckles
Then this ....
I thought it was a cartwheel , until i got home and cleaned it up.
The fleur de lis is quite clearly visible but i cant make out anything on the other side
Its about 35mm diameter and 3mm thick.
Ive been searching for it on google but so far havent had any luck

Great finds Sandta, very interested in what that coin is.
Congratulations mate.

A dream permission and fantastic results Sandta, I reckon that sixpence might be a William not George - probably even better in my book. Not sure about the Fleur De Lis coin, might actually be a counter stamped English coin, either way it is unique ad very interesting. :Y:

Happy days old mate...... erfect:
ower: :Y:
that fleur de lis being flat on the bottom tells me it was meant to stay up the right way.
made me think of old headgear from some old black and white movie I'd seen as a kid where the round thing was on the front of an old felt army cap.... maybe from a time just after they got rid of feathered head dresses for soldiers..... but kept some little token reminiscent of that time on the newer head gear.

Maybe i gave you a bit of a bum steer mate
There is something on the other side, i just cant make out what im looking at
Its pretty rough , can see some lettering around the edge, maybe an image with radiating lines ,like the Japanese rising sun or a palm leaf.
Definitely a coin or token.
Will try again to get pics
