Hello everyone, I am probably the exception here because I am not strictly speaking a coin collector, but a metal detectorist from the UK.
I have never bought a coin but have a growing collection of coins and other items found with my metal detector.
I therefore have an interest in all UK-found coins, whether Celtic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Medieval or later. I also occasionally find foreign coins including the odd one from the USA!
I hope to be able to join in the discussions, particularly relating to British and European coinage.
