March 24, 2012

We are just days away from catching a place to London and meeting up with our group of seven. We will spend two weeks metal detecting the fields of Essex.  At least one of us is bound to find gold this trip and I would love to be the one.  Although Clarence has found a Celtic gold coin from 30 BC, my gold coin find was a fairly modern 1806 one third guinea.  I have had my heart set on finding a hammered gold like an Elizabeth I.  It is a stunningly beautiful coin.  I hope this is my year.

Meanwhile, a few of our non-detecting friends have asked for some help with the terms I often use like "greenie" or "hammie". I have written a glossary of sorts that may help you out.  I also will post a basic timeline of British history that will help when I talk about our finds of the day.  I hope you will enjoy coming along on our latest adventure. We will be with a very fun group so I'm pretty sure it will entertaining.
