Or, even better, the 2005 edition of my Collectors' Coins GB is in the public domain, at the bottom part of this page:

http://www.rotographic.com/

Is a link with the name Collectors' Coins Great Britain 2005. That is the book as a PDF file.

The 2008 edition is now available as a printed book, but it isn't free!

Hi, welcome to the forum. I thought I would get in before Chris does (it always sounds better coming from an impartial source!) and direct you to his Collectors' Coins GB 2008 - see above or the Rotographic section on this forum.

I really don't want to put you off, because metal detecting done properly can be fun, but, mainly due to the numbers produced and the effects of spending 100+ years exposed to the elements, anything you find in the ground from that particular era (with the exception of gold) is likely to be worth little more than its metal content. There are of course rare dates/varieties but the chances of finding any of those in acceptable condition are very low indeed.
