Silver for Silver hehe :Y:

Thanks fellas.... it's silver since 14th September this year, seems like since forever

 

[silver]

I meant 1st silver since then lol

 

[silver]

Well..... guess what !
A florrie is about 28 mm wide
And I thought I found an old thick penny

Cause the side I could see had a young Victoria on it

Cleaned up at home

1885

You can tell it's brittish.... just look at them teeth

So it's not a penny I thought... it has a readed edge and is bigger than a florrie at 32 mm

Looks pretty good condition too

So not sure whether it's a five shilling or a 2&1/2 shilling... seems overkill in size if it were only a half shilling more than my sniffer1913 florrie, there for comparison.
Anyway all I need next is to find a gold coin at one of my favourite spots

 

[Danny13]

Fantastic find Silver!

Thanks fellas... I'm over the moon about finally finding a big old silver myself(long time waiting and watching others get there before me ), I'm soon glad I didn't give it a big touch with the end of the digger(almost too big to miss ), and when it comes to sovs, we'll as soon as I come in year range with any coin find,I circle hunt radiating outwards digging all mid tone targets as well, just incised there was a sov involved in a fall type coin spill spread.

Are you going to get it all nice and shiny with the bi-carb, lemon and alfoil method or just leave it as is.
Be nice to see that lovely Silver...

Leave it as it is. Probably worth more like that.

 

[OzzieAu]

The worth is in the eyes of the beholder.... my eyes would appreciate it more like this...

Mr. silver strikes me as a hanging on to his finds type of guy..
