Old English coins and old English gold!

[Goldstrike]

I just spent 2 weeks in England and instead of doing some serious metal detecting (which was the original plan) ended up mostly sightseeing and squeezing in just 3 metal detecting hunts. I went back to a spot that I had previously detected in past years that I figure had lain mostly undisturbed in a wooded section of an old park for many years. The coins which, although have little worth, date back to the early 1900's were barely 2 inches below the surface and the 2 pieces of very stylish and old, probably Victorian? 10K were found about 30 feet apart and deeper at about 5-6 inches. The reason that the coins had not sunk deeper were because of a layer of clay underneath the surface of the topsoil. If it had been detected by someone other than me, those coins, which were very shallow would have long been gone!
Now to hit the beach's here and find some of those 'lost' gold rings!!!!!
