Good one Gavin… Wait till you score a gold ring, then you will be hooked well and truely.
Yes, who would have thought after all these years I’d be starting my own finds thread?! 
Yep, the meeting the other night gave me a wee taste for it again. Already found a gold ring a couple of years ago when I last detected, what I’ve got my sights on a sovereign or half sovereign now!

Haha…Yo-go-getty-yerself that sneaky Sov mate…sure to be one with yer name on it!
What a surprise and great to see what can be found and in the dark of night !!
Another wee swing around today closer to home. Don’t think coins like the salty conditions at all… didn’t realise I’d dug a silver threepence initially, and a George V penny came out of the ground so corroded can’t make out any detail on the tails side of the coin.

where there is one theres allways another.
Bit of a miserable night weather wise but got out for a play anyway and hit an old park. Didn’t do too bad for old coins…
All the old coins were about 4 inches down embedded in a gravel layer. I guess the park was originally just a gravel area in days gone by.

Didnt do too bad at all. Some nice old dates there on the pennys and they look in reasonable condition too.

Better than nothing. One assumes when they are like that perhaps they have fallen out of someone’s pocket.
Sorry, the “miserable night out” was more referring to the weather 
I enjoyed finding the older coins 
I’ve now edited my post so I sound less like a whinging pom

Good enough gavin,at least you didn,t get skunked,always good to find the older coins.
Nice Britt Pennies, good to see you out and about going hard, in between your gold adventures.
Ya better be careful the coin/relic hunting might take hold
Too late i’d say. been converted into a coin shooter already.

Yeah… not sure about that - still feel the fever coursing through my veins!

Looks like you’re going to have to specialise in Sovereigns then 
Now that I wouldn’t mind, but I don’t think the sovereigns agree!
Got out for a very brief wave of the wand last night…
found the sixpence in the immediate patch of the other two old coins from Gav's Metal Detecting Finds - #9 by gavin

Invited out for a swing by @chdanz and @PablosGold today - cheers guys 
My highlight was a well worn silver 1887 three pence.
Usually more into the gold myself but might have to get out for a few more winter plays now.
