Gold Sovereign

It has been an interesting sort of a week detecting wise, although it has now become a race against time as the whole farm at Chilham has been planted with Rape and the crop is up already! I found six roman 4th century AE3 coins including a really nice one of Constantine, Gloria Excercitus reverse. I also found a really good 17th century farthing token of John Solley at Wingham and also a crotal bell. Saturday, I went with the club to the Essex Detector Society Rally and pulled out a George III 1818 gold sovereign in the first hour. It was quite a strange rally looking at the finds cabinet. Only four coins - a hammered silver, William III sixpence, and two gold sovereigns, Mine and a Victoria jubilee head. The other few finds were mainly buckles of which two were found by Alan and Brian from our Swale club, and Alan actually won find of the day with his. It was really unusual with snakes' heads. The FLO said it was post medieval but we think it is probably earlier.
