So not all 64s are equal

[CT Todd]

Just got home from my fall trip. Had a great hunt and my team was very good this time so my job was easier. Plugging along in the last hour of my trip I got a nice small solid 64 in my UK program and popped it out thinking another piece of crap But no
25 BC 1/4 Stater. Big fun.
It’s not over until the last swing.

Proper English Gold dance did follow this find but I’ll spare you.

It's a very old Gold coin from a Celtic tribe in England. It's F-ing cool is what it is.

No it will be fine. It will go through the process then I'll settle up with the land owner for 1/2 of the worth and then it will come home with me in the spring most likely.

Man. That's Awesome. Congratulations ...
Would that be about the size of the US $1 dollar gold coin ???

Been hunting England for 25 years and yet to find a little horsey. Its the last item on my England bucket list. What excitement to see that gold in the soil. I came close one year. I think I found a blank planchet !!!! Just my luck,...blank..

Congrats on a SPECTACULIAR find. The top of the apex !!!!

Congratulation on a stator! I. Hope to get over one next spring when I go back to England. The last time I went (October 13) I didn’t even find a hammered. Aiming high this time with my Deus 2. Do you have a special programmed or using a tekkna program?

 

[BobOso]

outstanding find Todd.

Hello
I think I’ve been to England 14 times over the years and have found many many fantastic things over the years including two gold coins and dozens of hammered coins. I have been skunked on hammered on two trips. It’s just how it goes. You have to get your coil over it. I run my own UK program But I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the program you run as long as it’s not something crazy. Too much YouTube is a mistake. Get out there.

Damn! I’ll bet you were disappointed it wasn’t a war nickel some GI lost Fantastic stuff, seeing coins most people including me didn’t even know existed is a lesson in the possibilities. And…”Too much YouTube is a mistake”…you ain’t kidding. The “paralysis by analysis” condition is a real thing.
