Well done Steve some great finds there. Amazing to find those old silvers but at the same time a little disheartening to see they have been so badly worn. Never the less they were identifiable and get to go to a good home. Cheers for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I always enjoy finding old silver, and the completely worn coin may have been a good luck coin, or a “worry” coin, constantly being rubbed between the fingers.
Hi Steve, I did hear a story a little while ago that some coils warn with nothing on them were worry coins, people use to carry the coin around rubbing it between their fingers as they pondered life. But it could be just a story 😊
Yes, I’ve heard similar stories. I’ve also heard that some people would rub a “favourite” silver coin for luck, and eventually they’d end up worn smooth. I’d love to know that coin’s history!
That’s the hardest part. So many people detecting, so many people doing the wrong thing - makes it tough for those of us trying to enjoy our hobby while being respectful and ethical. Most obvious places have been detected already, but that doesn’t mean they’ve found everything. Also need to think outside the box a little bit c- ask friends and relatives if you can detect their years, or ask if they know of anyone with old properties etc.
