What to do on a rainy day

Recommended Posts

Due to the wet weather I’ve spent the afternoon taking pictures of some coins I’ve dug up and playing about on my iPad. I finally managed to work out how to put a picture on my profile. It’s an Elizabeth I milled sixpence I found probably ten years ago on what was my favourite detecting field , now sadly covered in green waste which has completely f#@£ed it. The field has produced approximately 100 or so hammered from all periods ,and this one was sitting on top of the soil just covered by some loose stubble. I got a signal from my detector and swept my foot over the top of the soil and exposed this wonderful coin.

What I thought I might do in future is change my profile picture when I find a half decent hammered or to one I’ve found in the past

Super coin, I’ve never found a milled Lizzie, but dozens of hammered!

That is one lovely coin, only found one milled lizzy but nothing like the condition of yours, well found ;)

Stunning find!

I still haven't found a milled Lizzie either - or any gold at all for that matter.

One day I hope to get lucky on both...

What a delightful little coin. A find like that makes all those wet and cold days of detecting worthwhile.
