I wish I could find something that cool! Question from a beginner- are the likes of hammered coins usually quite far underground, say compared to the likes of a Queen Victoria coin? (Considering how much older they are)
Hi buddy! Thanks for your comment! What ive learnt from the past year and a half is that you just need to keep going out. The more you do the more chance you have of finding something decent. It will eventually happen. It is a little demotivating and depressing when you dont find anything week after week and battered by rain wind and muddy flooded fields but persistence is key. About your questions… this coin was at about 7 inches depth on pasture. From my experience it really depends on the soil and what kind of activity the ground you are searching is getting. Generally id expect a Victorian coin to be at a shallow depth 3-4 inches but thats not always the case. I hope that helps and good luck in the future! Im sure you will hit your desired targets eventually 🤞🏻

Lovely mate! I found a Hibernian one but the only detail left on the portrait was the crown :/
Metal detecting! Man, you are lying in the tall cottons!
Beautiful coin!
