Gold Coin Found With The Nox


Recommended Posts

Had some luck during the week finding my 3rd gold coin in 9 years of detecting , so i am feeling the buzz again . This one is an 1853 Half Sovereign , 22ct , 19mm diameter . Came from a well hunted spot where virtually every target over 20 on the Nox has been cleaned up by the high tone hunters .  This was 15 in all directions at around the 5 inch mark . Found a nice brooch and pendant as well . The hunt area is a well known gold mining town dating back to the 1870's .

Nice that they saved the best for you!  Do you still have more area there to cover?

Yep , you can cover miles of country here that has been mined . Much has a cover of bracken fern which ensures it's never hunted out .
