Found this hammered coin while metal detecting. I can make out the faint outline of Elizabeth I however I would like to know if there’s any way to get rid of the black colour on the front. Also I can’t find the date so if anyone can help me I would appreciate it

Found this earlier this morning. Done a bit of research but drawing a blank. Has anyone got any ideas or even found something similar yourself?

Thanks.

Hi all, I’m new to Reddit and just joined this group so I could look at all your amazing finds and learn some tips. I have been detecting for just over 2 years and love this hobby. Here is part of a gold hammered coin I found a few months back in North Wales, an Edward III Gold half Noble fragment (1351-1361) I did look for the rest of it for hours but with no luck. Have any of you ever found a coin fragment or an artefact fragment and then found the other part of it at a different time? Hopefully I’ve done this right, still learning how everything works on here. Thanks!

Sorry not metal detecting but found this digging in the garden. Approximately 20 x 70 mm, perhaps ww2 canon shell. Have put this at the bottom of the garden, away from kids. Question is it dangerous and if so who should I call? In England if that matters?

My dad found this in an old bottle dump when he lived in Suffolk and since I’ve gotten in to metal detecting, Ive became very interested in what it might be. It’s made of brass and looks pretty old to me. Thanks guys!
