Went detecting up North Canterbury, had a huge haul of silvers out, 21 in all. The halfcrown was top find, the two misshapen coins at bottom are actually a threepence and sixpence, the words are visible under magnification. Goodness knows how they ended up like this. Two of the threepences at the bottom are Victorian, old head and jubilee head, 1896 and 1890 respectively. A great day all in all.
		My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.
