Quite often I see on detecting forums people saying they find
something new when they re check their finds.
Well this happened to me recently too when I took another
look at what I thought was my oldest coin, an 1845 penny and found it was actually
an 1845 East India Company One cent piece.
If you would like to look there are pics and more here

I really cannot recall what the oldest coin is I have found with a metal detector but it may have been an 1826 shilling but the oldest coins I have is 400BC and I have several dozen 'ordinary' BC coins. The oldest penny I have is about 1100AD
