Well I have also walked away from good signals with iffyness and small grunts of iron.. looking at your find I will never make that mistake again.

What an absolute belter. You can happily dine out on that for the rest of the year.
Well saved and well done.

Very very nice. Well recovered [81/]
Thank you [88/]
the condition of my find's from this section of field's have all been above average so far, even the usual crusty Georgian copper's.

Thank you [88/] I met with the landowners Son today to show him the find's and he too was in awe of the John Penny!

I am like there is Gold there, and he was 'but this is nearly a thousand year's old' [49/]

Thank you [81/]

especially for taking the time to read!

I type like I talk and that doesn't always work out well [49/] the photo's didn't load as I expected but I am putting that down to user error.
