Victorian Gothic Florin.

Wednesday 11 June 2014.

Total finds: £2.12 in decimal, 3xold pennies, 1xhalfpenny, Victorian Florin, a 1924 sixpence, tiny silver pig charm, and a silver earring.

I was out metal detecting again this morning with a return visit to that overgrown trackway I detected last time I was out. It was hard going again, what with four foot high nettles, brambles, roots and those pesky insects,  but here and there I was finding clearer patches where I could swing my coil.

It was quite a good morning for me, I managed to winkle out some decimal coins which will go into my challenge fund, some grot copper coins for my scrap bucket and four pieces of silver which I like to keep.
I'm having a problem dating that large silver coin as its so worn, I'm sure its a Victorian Florin but will put it up on the MDF Metal Detecting Forum to try and get a positive ID on it.

  

The large silver coin I'm not sure about but will update when I get a positive ID on it. The smaller coin is a George V Sixpence dated 1924.
***UPDATE*** 
 A better coin than I thought, it has been ID'd as a Victorian Gothic Florin.
 Date Era: 1852.
Hard to tell actual date due to it being so worn.

When I first dug the ear ring I knew i had seen that symbol before somewhere and it had been bugging me all day. Tonight I did a bit of surfing on the net and found out it is the Yin and Yang symbol which you can read about here...
