  1. Congrats on the 3p. Looks by your finds as though you have found a spot where you will get more old silver too.

  2. Hi Chris....Sadly enough the old Silvers came from one small part of a Park that hasn't been resurfaced....so Im not holding my breath for anymore from there...the UK pennies all came from a site I went through a lot a of trouble obtaining permission from...but then ran into someone giving me 1st hand info that they have been detecting there on the sly without permission...so I don't know if there are any Silver left there...just gotta love the Cowboys out there that give us Detectorists that play by the book a bad name :(:(

    1. The cowboy has probably been hunting at speed so to avoid being caught. He has probably got the goldies and not much else. You can take your time and plunder at your leisure. :-)

  5. Yap it was a pity that the spot with old silvers was the only one spot for old stuff. all the afford of researching and checking the place yield only scars finds :-(

    But... hopefully we are on a right track and will find a non reinstated spot around the area..
