Got those two 43's in the same hole(one was still in the plug) and was still looking for the shilling a little voice had promised me earlier on.... but found the florrie instead not too far away(and that was certainly a surprise)... it was a mixed signal (mainly mid tone) and I got some shallow foil out of the hole first up, then on rechecking the hole it was all high tone still and then out popped the florin staring up at me. :Y:
musta been magnetized silver just waiting to be hoovered. :lol:

but on cleanup turns out to be 1953

then on closer inspection it looks like they musta re-done 1944 to make 1953.... cause thats looking like a remnant 4 there to me :eek:
maybe I'm trippin or something :p

Thats an amazing find. But if you look behind the 5 there is a residual smaller struck 5. Either a mistrike or counterfeit?
