I took my detector up the coppice again today and struck gold (375)

I started around the trenches hoping for a old cap badge but grateful for anything.The first hour turned up nothing but old ring pulls and rubbish,then i heard a familiar tone (it was the coin tone) i quickly got out my trowel and began digging a hole.
About 3inches down there was a pound coin

i ran my detector back over the hole and there it was again, clear as day, the same tone.
I began digging again and found another pound coin.
Then after about a hour of digging up more rubbish, a old penny and a old ship half penny, my detector made a tone i haven't heard before (8inch deep).
I started digging keen to see what it could be, after 10mins i was about to give up when there it was (my heart missed a beat

) a little gold band was just sitting at the bottom of the hole.
