Well, ive been out detecting up on the moors around my home again and have found

These are a few of my latest finds - These coins were all found within half a mile of my home and include a siver 3 pence coin from 1918, the classic half a sixpence as well as an early example of a victorian bun penny. What i find strange, with money so short for most of the period these coins were lost, how come it happened so often?

Well, ive been out detecting up on the moors around my home again and have found some interesting coins. OK most were modern, all but one is of the 20th century. What struck me as odd was why, with money being so short for most people for most of the 20th century, is there still so much just laying only inches under the earth.

well, they are sort of new. I think 1860 is the oldest and onwards to about 1965, so its a fare spread

Wow that is amazing all those coins you have found. I wonder if they are worth anything? I think they probably are! I do not understand how people back then could lose their coins as much as they did either.

cant imagine they would be worth a lot but its an interesting collection. It strikes me as strange that they could be left there scattered about lol
