I went metal detecting and have found a bradford town hall 1872 grand opening coin or medal any ideas on price? and also a george 1911 coronaion medal or coin again it has the british coat of arms on back of the it,it also has the king and queens head on it. thats all.

yep his other pastime is hibernating in his room on pc/ps3 so its good to get him out lol plus it is interesting too.

valuations dont bother me its the finding out what it is. its actually my 17yr old whos taken up detecting so im left to trace everything he comes home with.Ive scoured the net and found nothing with the markings frustrating indeed

still interesting what ever it may be ive got a magnifying glass coming today so may make more out of it ill keep you posted cheers all

dunno really it definately has the words stone clearly visable and the wreath is visable but its only a part way round wreath cheers anyway

yes tis true i am a red and what a dire season we have had cheers for the info

how do i work out what is a rare penny or a normal penny i found 2 of the same date last week in the same field.1875 is the date but there a little grubby whats best to clean coins without damaging them.Also same goes about halfpennys as i found one too on the same date and one of 1862.cheers

sorry its knottingley west yorkshire.After some trawling the net for 1881 i come up with william gladstone so maybe a commemorative coin/medal which would explain the stone on the item.

Hello all ive just started metal detecting in my local area and have found some standard old coins ie penny,halfpenny but i came across this yesterday and im completely stumped.I can work out the words stone but i think theres some more before it also theres a wreath going around it there was also a date but not in the normal place it was 1881 but there was a 28th before it it read 8th1881 it looked like a 2 before the 8 but its now fell off as the coins condition is very poor.Im not after a valuation just what it may be.It is 30mm across thanx in advance.
