I switched back to baiting the
Anderson PMR-II with pure silver on the basis that it should cover almost the
entire spectrum of desirable finds, including solid gold, while reducing the apparent
sensitivity to gold plate. It worked! It wasn’t long before I was holding an
Iron Age gold stater coin, which I had dug up after the Anderson had led my detector to it. One
swallow (or is it one stater?) doesn’t make a summer, they say, so I ended my
summer with a second gold stater found in exactly the same way.
The coins are Gallic War Uniface
gold staters of the Ambiani tribe who were centred around Amiens
in Northern France , dating c.60-30 BC. It is
believed they were mainly brought to Britain
by way of payment to mercenaries fighting Caesar’s armies in Gaul .
