thanks geoff, yes there must be plenty more there, its hard work there, its signal after signal, but you dont get it that good that often, so im not complaining and makeing the most of it, i will post steves finds when i get the photo, his machine got soaked so he didnot find as much as me, cant wait for the next trip there   mickycoin ;D ;D

Welldone Micky some stunning finds there and keep searching the same area you willl get more and look forward to see your next finds . Best of luck and again bravo mate.Nap

thanks for the interest nap, hopefully will have more finds to post soon  mickycoin ;D ;D

mick in the 3rd pic down you have 2 coins on bottom left that are the same...what are they??? i have a very worn one and cant make out what it is.superb collection of finds, very well done!!!!

hi jassy, thanks for the interest, the 2 coins are birmingham mining tokens i think, these date 1794, have found quite alot over the years they are common around this area for some reason, no doubt someone on this site will have the reason why?? thanks again for your interest   mickycoin ;D ;D

Jass as the link above explains around the edge of the coin it read "Birmingham, Redruth and Swansea". In other words they were a local company.

Nice little "hoard" there Mick. as you say there has to be some hammered there so keep looking mate!

Great days detecting that. Well done.

thanks for the interest jrd and kev, yes kev had the 1 hammered or whats left of it will put on the pics, might get an id never know    mickycoin ;D ;D

cheers mick and geoff for the replies!!!!

your welcome jassy, here are some of steve hammered s finds from suday as i mentioned earlier his machine got soaked   il say no more mickycoin ;D ;D

I believe the hammered was once a Philp and Mary groat, Spink 2508.

hi peter thanks for the id, you must have a crystal ball :o :o  but very happy with the id as its the first hammered coin i have found from that reign, thankyou  mickycoin ;D ;D

Some really nice finds, wish i was there

thanks for the reply james, you would have been there but you were working, going again soon, dont worry, have cleaned the buckle up a bit better, wonder if it was millitary ??? due to the crowns on it  mickycoin  ;D

That's a smasher of a buckle! Nice find  ;D
