I'm a keen metal detectorist, who loves finding lost and buried history.

Being the first person to hold something since it was lost hundreds or thousands of years ago.......that is priceless

In 2019, I discovered a Roman coin Hoard buried in a field in Shropshire.

The hoard consisted of 337 coins, dating from 209bc to 69ad/70ad.

The Hoard is now known as
'The Gobowen Hoard'

I've been posting the coins in date order,
(oldest to youngest) but I thought I'd end the day with this SPECIAL, RARE coin.

There has only been 2 found in the UK including this one, and this is the better condition one 😊

The date is 69/70 AD

My gloves from @unearthed_uk_detecting had a good testing today. The gloves kept my hands dry and warm all day, even after I had been detecting in a stream, and had my hands in the water. An impressive pair of gloves 👍🏼

I've found a very unusual coin.

This penny was struck in 1788 for use in Barbados, the first coin to be used on the island. It is thought to have been privately a local plantation owner, and is therefore considered a token rather than legal tender.
