Nice find dude :D
Maybe it use to be in a ring or necklace, as it is small then maybe for a child?

Hey, I found one of those.

Then I lost it.

True story. Like a muppet, I put it in my wallet to keep it 'safe' because it was so small. Got to the car. Gone.

Of course, these days I have a holdall. Harsh lesson, learnt!

Nioce find Steve and reassuring that the Ace is performing well, you must have tons of stuff since we last me?
On a completely different thread ... Steve I have been digging out all the old TH and Searcher mags, bought 300 of them on eBay a while back for £10 and one has a brilliant beach detecting article that has all the great places to detect on the beaches around where you are and tips on when to go and what to do etc, send me a PM and I will post them on to you if you want to throw yourself into the sea, Liam

It was only in the middle of the last century that the silver 3d was taken out of currency leaving just the brass flat sided 3d.
