Bullhead Sixpence Day Saver | Leith Hill, Surrey | Metal Detecting UK | Equinox 900

We returned to Leith Hill for another round of metal detecting, this time exploring a brand-new area… and wow, did the weather make us work for it. Cold, wet, wild winds — our beards took an absolute beating (you’ll see!). 🌬️🧔💦

Despite the conditions, the finds came early:
🔹 First hole win! Murray kicked things off with an Edward VII penny on his Equinox 900
🔹 Followed quickly by a George V penny

A strong start considering our hands were half-frozen!

We then moved into the larger fields, where the coins began to appear. No rare treasures this time, but plenty of the usual toasted Georges and Vickies. Murray had a moment of excitement thinking he had a hammered coin… but it turned out to be a very tired, very worn Victoria. (It happens! 😆)

With the cold and rain getting worse, we made a tactical retreat back to the car — but fate had other plans. On the drive out, a neighbouring field caught our eye. We stopped for a quick test before heading home, and…

💥 Yanne pulled up a cracking George III Bullhead Sixpence!

A beauty of a silver coin and a brilliant way to end a tough day.

We wrapped things up at the pub with a well deserved pint and a warm-up by the fire. Happy days indeed. 🍺🔥
