dooly dooly I was posting here when you were in diapers. Registered: 02/23/07 Posts: 3471 Loc: Northumberland UK	Hi all i nave been out detecting over in Cumbria this weekend and thought you may like to see this Irish coin i picked up over there ABOUT COIN:- It is a James Stanley, Tenth Earl of Derby Isle of Man halfpenny dated 1733 Second issue. unsure of the exact on at the moment possibly 7410 (spink) History of these coins:- Manx minor coinage was not introduced until 1709. these Penny's and halfpenny's were cast in molds,and have the earl's motto SANS CHANGER together with the Stanley crest of an eagle clutching a child upon the cap of Maintenance. the reverse bears the Triune, or "three legs" with the motto QVOCVNQUE JECERIS STABIT (Whichever way you throw it, it will stand) in 1733 a second issue of coins (as pictured above) were die-struck and not cast. This coin is in very good shape for being in the ground for so long and i think it is worthy of conservation and NCS encapsulation. all the best dooly _________________________ http://Support-the-Collectors-Society.com/sch/alnwickandamblepestcontrol/m.html?item=320862010779&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649&_trksid=p4340.l2562 STUFF FOR SALE ON EBAY >> POP IN AND SEE ME $\:\)$ There is no such thing as a lucky person only a person who looks !

I've had my garret for about a year and have found a couple dollars in modern coinage. _________________________ ~Bobby~ PureVolume-My Music YouTube Dedication to My Late Beloved Wife!

bsshog40 bsshog40 TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 05/09/06 Posts: 15014 Loc: Waskom,TX	Now that looks like a pretty decent haul there Irvin. About how long have you been hunting? I really just started back last year when I bought my Garrett 1500. I had an older garrett that had me chasing junk all the time and I wound up losing interest until I got my new one. I like it alot. _________________________ ~Bobby~ PureVolume-My Music YouTube Dedication to My Late Beloved Wife! Take Time to Listen Please!!

rrantique rrantique TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 09/06/06 Posts: 6532 Loc: Midsouth USA	My first detector was a garrett deepseeker i purchased back in the 80's. Traded it in on the one i have now a Quantum with a blue Max coil(Whites). The Garrett was a good machine. I just got lazy and wanted one with ID and depth display. $shrug$ _________________________ Irvin

bsshog40 bsshog40 TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 05/09/06 Posts: 15014 Loc: Waskom,TX	I hear ya Irvin. Mine was and old garret 300 series. My 1500 now has depth and size display. really nice. It will pinpoint close enough, that the hole I dig is about the size of the coin. It's pretty darn accurate. The only thing I have a hard time looking for are nickels as there are alot of garbage signals associated with these. I have probably passed over a few because I just discriminate those out now. _________________________ ~Bobby~ PureVolume-My Music YouTube Dedication to My Late Beloved Wife!
