Popular Post palzynski Posted September 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2022 Yesterday I decided to go to a field near a small town where I have already been a few times . The soil is sandy and moderately mineralized , it is very easy to dig here I like this area .. I will use always the same settings for the Deus2 , SENSITIVE 5 TONES , SQUARE audio . This is the best mode for my kind of hunting and I am experienced with it now .. First signal and first coin , a Double Tournois from Henri IIII , 1598 ... A good start .. A little corroded but a nice find. A few minutes later , an other old coin , but this one is both worn and damaged . But this is interesting because both coins have been found in a relatively small area and I decide to stay in this area instead of going further in the field like I did the previous times .. As usual I find 1st WW trash , schrappnells , bullets , casings etc ... Detecting over here requires patience because of all this modern trash . Now I have a medium tone clean signal , it takes a little time to locate the target because it is a thin one ... Wow its a silver , a very old silver , a Carolingian coin dating from the 9th century !!! . 😺✌️ 💥 🤣 Bad luck the coin is damaged and unfortunately breaks when I try to clean it . I am not surprised because these coins ( around 1,5g ) are very thin and fragile . Anyway what a find .. Awesome... I have only found 2 of them during 23 years of detection , this is my 3rd Carolingian coin 🙃👌... I like these coins , and it is difficult to imagine that this one has been waiting during 1200 years before bringing back to life ... I will spend one more hour in the field , with more classical finds but nothing as spectacular as this silver coin. Btw I have tried DEEP HC a few minutes but I found it a little too slow for detecting in this field with all this iron trash. A few pics : The field : A double tournois , Henri IIII , 1598 : The broken Carolingian coin : A medieval coin weight : A few neighbours 🙂: End of the day , time to go back home : The Carolingian coin after cleaning , Denier , Louis 1er Le Pieux , 814-840 , HLUDOVICUSIMP XPISTIANARELIGIO Thanks to my trusty Deus2 WS6 .. 🙂 : 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I get excited with a 120 year old coin and you find one 10 times as old. Heck, your consolation prize is over 400 years old.... Great work! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Wow, if only we had such a rich history here. Congratulations on such great finds! 👍 Nice job with the Deus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPT_GhostLight Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Those are awesome finds, palzynski, well done! It looks like you have you're killing it with your WS6 Master setup. It's hard for us in the US to imagaine any coins that old except for the very rarely found 1600s Spanish coin. Detecting on top of thousands of years of history must be absolutely magical! 😵 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detecting on top of thousands of years of history must be absolutely magical! 😵 Right this D2 WS6 Master + 9" coil is a killer 🙂 ; ultra light , excellent "cristalline" SQUARE audio , deeper than the D1 , great separation in the iron trash ... Yes it is magical 🙂 ... We have older coins like Roman coins over here . But for some reason the Carolingian coins are my preferred ones , perhaps because they are the very first coins of the medieval ages .. They definitely have something special , and they are rare ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL NINO77 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 You are right Alain..., the first silver hammereds struck in the given territory,, really has its own charm,,, and such a find is really pleasing.. probably because they are small and delicate works of art.,, but it is also with nice Roman and Celtic coins.. ...I wish you good luck with Deus II in the next detection....👍 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Great finds, That's a really awesome little coin. Never heard of such a coin, but thanks for the story. I really love hearing about stuff that I will never have a chance to find. Best of luck the next run around!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skate Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I share the same lament about a lack of history where I hunt. Usually my oldest find is an RC Cola bottle cap. Great job on the recoveries. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
