went out yesterday on a stubble field and only two signals in I got a good signal, put the spade in the ground and pulled out a hammered silver :shocked05: it is an Elizabeth 1st groat (four pence) from the 15 hundreds. after that didn't find much except from one grotty roman. but over all it was a great day :).

Welcome to the forum and nice coins! Pretty smart of you to use an American dime for size reference instead of a pence or whatever! We Americans are insanely jealous that we cannot find coins that old here. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

Beautiful OLD silver coin... :congrats: it's amazing what people on the other side of the pond find. You'll be hearing that a lot, just by the way... ;)

Thanks for posting these great finds. Most of us over here would kill to find a hammered silver from the 1500's. Waiting for your "best finds" thread so that I can get really jealous.
