Thought you might like to see bigger pictures of the milled 6d

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

Managed to grab a day out detecting today. Had this little beaut, Not bad condition saying its been rolling around in a ploughed field.

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...

That is one lovely coin, only found one milled lizzy but nothing like the condition of yours, well found

i would say rose both sides Richard.

Looks to be one of the Donald Golder pieces, came out for the Millennium I think.

Certainly better than a few I've got!

She doesn't look too bad considering her ordeal
