Title: 3rd time out for Sifter
Post by: melv69 on November 04, 2017, 11:57 am

been out again on Tuesday had a lot of buttons and this tiny beauty.. I don't get out very often as I'm recovering after having an heart attack. this coin was found on a farm in Essex that we've been detecting for over 20 years. I used the Sifter program with my 11" coil on a very iron infested field

Another cracker, does it have traces of gold plating?

Hi sorry it’s been a while. There are no traces of gold plating
That I can see.

Great find mate, for some reason that Sifter program keeps pulling out the stuff, lower power can sometimes work to your advantage.

Not sure on this one but it reminds me of a Cunobelinus coin, (Biga type) a gold stater, but often found with a silver core...
Not totally convinced , but i do think it's a Cunobelinus coin,
