Great post Ramjet ,
My wife and her family are from the Forest of Dean and really are rogues and rebels down that way.
I'm not suprised that it's the biggest find of that sort.
Cheers Steve

And found with a beginner's metal detector.
There's a manufacturer somewhere who owes the finder a case of champagne when the brand name becomes public!

I guess even a beginner detector will pick up large targets.
