This came from a field that had produced hardly any finds of note,I was only detecting due to a lack of any other available land,and yes I was excited when I saw this big lump of gold staring at me. Edward III noble, fourth coinage pre-treaty period, series Gd. Initial mark, Cross 3. 1356-1361,34mm dia.7.67g Spink1490

Wow - Congratulations! I dream about finding something like that!
I once found an Edward VII half-sovereign - still gold, but not so historic!

Very nice finds - if you find some of those who don't excite you, you are always welcome to send them to me.

I don't have the reference to it/them, but I have been after one for a while. I don't have any celtic in my collection. I thought about saving up and going direct to Chris Rudd, I have no experience and am a bit suspicious of some of them on ebay.
