Found metal detecting today in Cumbria UK. beautiful king henry viii silver hammered half groat minted in Canterbury. This was henry viii first coinage.
I wish that I lived in a place where such cool things could be found while metal detecting . I'm happy for you
I didn't do it until I got home this is the second one off this field had 23 hammereds 6 silver milled 22 different monarch from this feild was probably a market site .
Well done, many detectorists unintentionally damage coins by trying to clean them in the field. Always better to do it slowly and carefully at home. I get the excitement though.
We are lucky here in UK I found two hoards to 1500bc axeheads and 23 medieval coin hoard a gold stater from 1st century and a 400bc votive axe pendant only one ever found of its type.
