Richard2 Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 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 7 Quote

jelida Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Super coin, I’ve never found a milled Lizzie, but dozens of hammered! Jerry 1 Quote
Gaz T Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 That is one lovely coin, only found one milled lizzy but nothing like the condition of yours, well found 1 Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 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... 1 Quote
Sword Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 What a delightful little coin. A find like that makes all those wet and cold days of detecting worthwhile. 1 Quote
