1923.

I better be off for a kip soon or Mrs Silver won't be the darling for me in the morning that she usually is(ha).

 

[Goldpick]

A 1922 penny & half penny - both rather toasted condition which is typical for around here. The penny is a bit slimy still as it has been soaking in olive oil.

Hi Everyone,

Does finding some old chinese coins count?

Goldslave

If you found it with your detector in Australia and it is the right date then go ahead and post it.

Goldpick has started a topic for foreign coins.

[Sandta]

I can see the reason your called 'Silver'
I supose you should have a few after nearly 40 years detecting ....
Thanks for sharing... impressive & inspiring

 

[silver]

On that note then Sandta, I'll keep up my 40 years of good form(some coins are still hard to find).
Joe,..that corn cobby thing looks like the go for checking out(thanks), I was imagining something a bit different with lots of coins in together(haha);
I'm with you GP on the olive oil,...but some of mine are still soaking years later,...then again we've got time on our side hey !
So here we go, not many of these.
1921 shilling and sixpences.

You said oldest forum's coin, you didn't mention about finding it in Australia...
Let's be soft, it is not my oldest found coin, but this one is more picturesque and still recall when I found it like it was yesterday (cos' it was the first of its type).
Obol from Massalia, around 100BC, 0.9g (yes it is VERY small).

 

[GallicProspector]

Oh sh** I am off topic (I've read the topic with more focus - still asleep it seems), I'll go find a 1919 coins, should have one somewhere...

 

[Ungybungyboh]

I think you skipped a few years Gallic, we are only up too 1919...You will need to wait a bit longer to post 100BC coins.

Hope I am around to see it

 

[brucee]

hi, 1919 penny , park find

 

[Sandta]

Just a little off tangent Gallic... :lol:
Still ... A vey cool find indeed

 

[PhaseTech]

This is the oldest coin I've found so far. Exact date unknown, but somewhere between 1736 - 1795

You can read more about the find here, just scroll down to Chinese coin: http://www.pastmasters.org.au/elcho-past-muster---workshops-finds--losses.html

 

[Goldpick]

Back on topic, we are currently after a 1918 coin, any takers?

 

[silver]

Here we go,..1918.

One of the 1918 Florins.

And on to the next,....Who has 1917 ?
