Its been a great week. Today was really good getting the half crown in the morning and the ring tonight + 8 more silvers just today. Its a new site that I haven't hunted much at all so chances for some sovereigns are high. There was 6 hunts during the week so I wont go into detail but got $87,36 pennys,1million 1&2c:) and the pendent has a date on the back 1923. O and the really worn/slick sixpence has that old as king with wheel chair lady on the back but no date (round 1840?)lol:) jimmy bedrock attached the following image(s):

I am stoked with my week. My best are the pendent and my first British half crown... I found 1 before but it was made into a brooch so didn't really count:) there's got to be some good stuff at this new place. Its always hard to find a new spot that holds the old treasure. good luck out there I will let you know when I find some more gold;)

I note the brooch has .923 instead of the usual .925, bit different. Old as slick sixpence with the King on it. Do you mean William iv. That must be pre 1837. .

The reason I ask is that a seated Brittania was never used on a sixpence (to my knowledge) but was used for the threepence-sized FOUR PENCE or Groat. Check out this link and search pictures of both sixpence and fourpence pieces. http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/index.html

Silver coin in every hunt best being a 1879 shilling and another slick vic sixpence.. Got some sweet cars and nothing at the beach.
