I bet whoever lost the shilling was miffed at the time. It's in great condition, thanks for sharing.

Pity your grandson wasnt a bit older you could have taken him with you to metal detect i bet he would enjoy it.
You still got plenty time to get out and find some goodies,
Hope your mum gets better soon xx

Thanks everyone smile

Cools, you need to get yourself on some good land. I've been on digs where I have had lots of coins off 1 field, other times I've been out hours and found nothing. Keep at it, you will find a "hot spot" soon full of old stuff smile

I am getting better at hitting the targets Xplore, been out a few times and found lots of old cans and twisted metal and even an old 10p. Made up when I find something even if it is rubbish means I'm not digging in wrong place. Yeah I do think I need to find some good spots. Went to West Kirby didn't find anything but enjoyed it. Someone told me it's illegal to metal detect on beachs ,nicely tho told me I should go th Dove Point , Viking stuff found there.
