  Astounding @ricko!!!!

  I would love to acquire one of those Buckhamshire Edward I pennies to go with my Edward I penny of the Welsh beach find 'Angelesy Hoard' from the 1320s.

  Oldest MD find I have made, I don't detect a lot, is a 1917 cent in the backyard of my old house. I would sheet my breeches if I had the pleasure of digging up gold nobles.

  @SaorAlba .... So very true.... a find such as that could induce cardiac arrhythmia, or worse, in some people... Cheers, RickO

  I have never found a coin detecting. Strange as it sounds people just did not lose change in the desert. They probably had none to lose. You guys that live in areas that are "old" can dream of such things as pine tree shillings and 1792 half dismes.
