It's been a long time coming! Edward 1st penny

Post by Batman »

Hi folks, well after five years of trying out came my first hammered today. So after a four hour session and heading back to the car, my interest had taken a downward turn and i was ready for home. I was detecting stubble with my X Terra 705, All Metal, noise cancel 2, GB 21,Threshold 7,Tones 3, Sensitivity 28. It was 2 inches down and it came in at TID 10 on the screen. As expected i was in shock and couldn't believe my luck after a pretty mediocre but never the less enjoyable session. It measures 18mm and has CIVI TAS LON DON on the reverse side. My own id puts it as an Edward 1st penny but i am sure that a certain person on here can give an absolute definitve id as i am no expert. Thanks for looking and i hope the pictures are not too poor. ::g :)
