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... ;)
ahah yeh thought that might be a theme. was thinking of posting a thread and just put some of my best finds on it :thumbsup01:
Love it when you get the find of the day early on. :clapping: That makes for a relaxing hunt. Nice hammie! :smitten:
congrats on the Elizabeth hammered silver and Roman coins Arthur and thanks for posting them with a modern coin we recognize to give them some size reference .it truly gives us reminder of just how small those coins can be . :clapping:

Very nice, congrats.
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.
just making one now :)
:congrats:on the Elizabeth 1st four pence hammered coin! Very nice!:thumbsup01: HH
