That is gorgeous, well saved! I wonder what kind of moula that would fetch?! I'd be very tempted to keep it if I could, though haha.
People don't think it be like it is but it do.

Wonderful find many congratulations. You say -take it in rurns with gold coins' with the landowner. That's daring as one gold coin might be worth £200, another £20,000. Would love to hear more about your gold coin finds. Many thanks, Neil

The last one was a Victoria half sovereign and somewhere on the archive on the forum are the previous 10 that I’ve been lucky enough to find
