Atif Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Hi its Atif I just had an idea, as many of the people who are members here live within the U.K.Could someone organise a coin searching exhibition.Everone could come togeather for a day or few at a certain location in the U.K with metal detecors and we could all look for the lost coinage of Great Britain.Just an Idea, If anyone is intrested please let me know. This would also be a good opportunity for collectors like me who are young, new and unexperienced, this may also help to get more people involved in the hobby plus you never know what you could find.If no one is intrested then does anyone know of anything similar that happens in the U.K.This is due to the fact that I would love to go on a coin searching exhibition, but lack of experience and knowledge lets me down.I would also like to know of any coin auction or fairs that take place in the U.K preferably in Birmingham.Thankyou Very much for reading.Hope you could help,Kind regards Atif Quote
