Dug down and straight away was hitting large roots so tunneled through and around them making my down...got to 5" and still nothing but a good signal so kept going deeper and boom out pops this big arse silver half crown...no hang on its 2 coins stuck together...shit there's a florin there too! Rescanned the hole and nothing so filled back in. Took my first excited photo and was ecstatic! Then rescanned the hole again. Shit...a real faint blip in my head phone...redug the hole and straight to same depth and pinpointed a nice wee sixpence. By this time the 2 lads with me were starting to give me a bit of shit and general hoo harr (lol) so I just kept rubbing it in and said there's probably a sovereign in the hole too. Took another (well I thought the last) photo. Rescanned again. bugger me days theres another faint signal...even fainter than the last..strong on pinpoint setting 3 tho...hmmm must be a thruppence too I said. I think one of them hit me in the arm about then. Or it mighta been when I DID pull one out of the hole. Haha bloody awesome! add the pocket spill with the 2 other silvers I got, = 32.3g of silver coins. Stoked!! The token I found last night and is my first ever trade token in 3 years of hunting.
