Ok bud. I'll take a picture of it shortly and post it up. Had me stumped for years. Not sure if it's a king or a pope on it. It may not even be a coin, could be a token.

Nice work Gaz. Hope you get the full identity of the little bugger , nothing worse than having a coin and not knowing anything about it. I have a mystery coin that I think is Sicilian. Keep meaning to photograph it and post it up for an ID.

One of mine.

Thank you. Looks to have worked. Good Job! ?

I've got a few early potins. Ones a Leuci and the others a Tricasses or Senones. They were one of the first coins I ever bought due to them being at the time not highly sought after. The one Craig's posted above looks similar to my Leuci. Head on one side with a boar on the reverse.

I was going to say when i first saw it earlier on where's the foil gone off it!

I bet your heart sunk a little when you realised it was a base metal core. Still a great find though. Not many people find anything like that. Nice find matey.

Great find. ?

It's great. Its easy to read. Ticks all the boxes for me. Nice one!

That's a real beauty. What's the reverse like? I have a couple of ex mass short cross coins.

I started doing this with sixpences from Edward VI upto Eliz II. Still work in progress but not far off.

Thanks. It is. Quite an exciting discovery. I expect it will find its way into future publications / guides.

Found a reference to it again with image's. If anybody else is interested or intrigued here's the link https://mobile.twitter.com/detectingdigsuk/status/711679605057388545

I went over it again. Its class 8b.

No problem. Think that's all of them now ?

Another one I've missed. Henry III Nichole London. Class uncertain. Nichole struck 7c-8c.

Spot on. I put my spare house keys in a safe place about 3 years ago. So safe I've forgotten were I put them. Thankfully I've not needed them.....yet! I am sure I've done the same with other now long forgotten items. I blame the 90s ?

Your welcome. I must of missed this one. Only just saw it an hour ago.

As above. Class 5c ?

Its worth a try again i suppose. May try the bottle of scotch routine. I hear it works miracles ?

? Remember those. Me dad spent more time fiddling about pulling out snapped cassette tapes and cleaning the heads than he did watching movies.

So looking forward to series 3. I've been a fan since episode 1. The Jimmy Saville badge still cracks me up, his face ?

Magnet on a rope ?. Love it. I started off in that era. Had an old c scope. I got more iron than the scrapman ?. Gave it up in the end and started again in 2010 but stopped last year due to lack of permissions. People keep saying to me take it down the river or canals but as i remind them its all private land somebody owns it and if caught i stand to lose my entire collection so not worth it. Bloody hard getting permissions here , my scouse accent does me no good at all in north east lancs either.

I don't mind doing the short cross coins honestly. I often buy unresearched ones just to do the IDs. He does have some stuff though. Truly envious of some of his short cross coins. Keep posting em up i never tire of looking at them. ?
