Silverinthehole New Member Canada 32 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 6:14 pm Had a lucky day metal detecting while vacationing in the UK...Small ancient quarter stater. I kept it for 2 days before sending it to FLO for processing. I hope to be reunited with it in about a years time if all goes well. Report this Post to the Staff

Silverinthehole New Member Canada 32 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 7:32 pm FLO is the Finds Liason Officer....when you metal detect over in the UK you have to strictly follow the Portable Antiquities Scheme and the Treasure Act.... Report this Post to the Staff

jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 9:05 pm I'm sure there are some British detectorists who are quite aggro that a Canadian stops by on a vacay and lands a gold coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Silverinthehole New Member Canada 32 Posts	Posted 05/15/2017 9:23 pm I'm sure there are some British detectorists who are quite aggro that a Canadian stops by on a vacay and lands a gold coin. Quite possible, but most comments are positive....another reason to follow the rules and report all your finds...HH Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 05/16/2017 8:22 pm But Lance and Andy (pictured above) both found gold. However, only Lance did the Gold Dance and suffered the Curse of the Gold. Report this Post to the Staff
