British Two Pound Coin

diggin4clad · Oct 19, 2020

Sunday's hunt was at a sports field situated on ground that was originally a park that opened in 1934. We've hunted this site 5-6 times in the past and it gave up some silver coins and a few pieces of sterling. No silver this time but we did get 45 clad coins worth $7.31 and Sue dug an aluminum dog tag and a 1997 British Bi-Metallic two pound coin.

Foreign coins are fun and interesting to find, usually always a surprise too. Like the dog tag as well. That is a very nice clad take too!

You managed to get a 2 pound British Coin, and 2 pounds of clad. I always enjoy finding foreign coins what a great day you had.

Thanks Dan......we both enjoy finding foreign coins and English coins are the most common.

Every time I start cleaning bags of clad the wife wants to know where I'm taking her to eat. :laughing:

We get that issue out of the way by going out to eat after every hunt. Seriously......

Sometimes those foreign coins can turn into a history lesson for what they are. Good job!

Makes you wonder. What the heck is the British 2 pound doing out amongst the clad. But then, I once found a Napoleon LC in the woods near a 37 merc. You never know. Fun. Great hunt.

Nice find my friend. Being as I live so close to Canada I find quite a few of their coins. That one there has eluded me though. Well done.

We find a lot of foreign coins and wonder how they got to where we dug them.

Thanks Hoser.....British coins are not that uncommon here in Connecticut but this was the first "Two Pounder" we've ever found. Some years ago I dug a "One Pound" coin. Most British finds here are the common two pence coins.
