My first milled gold coin just a shame with its condition

[Ringtop-grafter]

Hello and hope everyone is well and getting out.

I was out for 3 hours yesterday on a recently drilled field, crops at short grass height, amongst the usual half a dozen worn coppers back to George III a squashed silver thimble and a nice watch winder I found my first gold milled coin after 3 years and 4 months of trying. A Victorian half sovereign and such a shame with the condition. My guess after finding a lot of furniture trash in the area it was left in a piece of furniture that was getting burnt back in the day.

Gave a medium-low solid two way tone from all angles with a bit of iron grunt in the background reading 27-29 on the Vdu, tight circle bang on and half way none ferrous line and a solid 27 flat out of the hole, 4 inch deep on dry ground with my Manticore, if this helps a bit with any members like myself learning this nuts machine

Very well done,non the less gold is still gold,shame that no mattresses was in that location as you may have found pot of gold

Still 100% more gold coin than I've ever found. I understand re the condition but still counts and very welcome.

I think your right re the fire theory. Around 30 years ago when still beach detecting there was an area showing signs of a bonfire and found around 6 rings, coins and silver spoon amongst it all
