Had a blast again at Colchester, met some new friends and hunted with some old ones. We had a great week, unbelievable infact, barely off the plane I found my 2nd ever gold coin, Celtic Stater Addedomeros 30-15 BC and a short while later added a partner to it. Our group managed 9 Celtic Golds in a week, definately hit a hot spot. Will post a few more pics this week if you folks are interested.

From the land of the Bluenose...UK sure is the mecca of the hobby for that stuff. Too bad none in Canada. Looking forward to seeing the other photos!
 
Please post more pics for those of us that can only dream of finding coins like that. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">

Heres the coins , with the exception of the Charles silver and Celtic gold. 54 coins in a week, mostly Georgian /Victorian Coppers 1700-1900. Called greenies. Didn't do as well as last year when I got 92 in the week, but heck quality beats quantity hands down.
