Any mintmark on that Ron? All of the 1871 St George & Dragon Sovereigns were minted in Sydney from Australian Gold. There should be a small 'S' below Victoria's head.
Ive read about people finding British gold sovereign coins from around that date here in Canada......not me of course, but maybe someday . or even better , maybe someday i can get my ass over there and get a piece of the action! very cool find Ron.
@Ringo853 These are all plowed fields, who knows. Paying a crop picker, collectiong for crops sold, town picnic, just some one having a romp with his girlfriend. LOL
Very nice Ron. Congrats on a beautiful gold coin. The British tourism board should pay you. Your videos got a bunch of guys chomping at the bit trying to figure out how we can get over there too!!
Oh woah stunning!!!!! Want to get my hands on one of those!!

You got the best metal detecting vids on YouTube.
I'm getting myself a Tesoro Cibola in 2 weeks because of watching them.
My goal is to find one of them Celtic gold staters you find in another vid.
Happy hunting.

Were people in that day and age, actually walking around with coins like that, and spending them like any other money?
