This is a hammered silver Queen Elizabeth I coin which I found in a farmer\'s field in England. Not pictured, I also found a 4th century roman coin and a William I coin as well as miscellaneous medieval buckles, etc.

I would like to thank everyone for their comments/suggestions on this. I originally had this taken with my 50mm f/1.4, but I got a 70-300 from UPS the same day the challenge ended, so this one may have been a bit too rushed and I should've moved the coin over to the side probably rather than a dead center. In my 50mm version of this, you can tell rather well that the black thing is a spade that was used for recovering the coin, but I realized too late it looked odd in this one. I'm trying to learn, hopefully I'll keep progressing!
IMO the placement of the coin would be better a bit more to the right. Not in the center unless you have some lines that draw your eyes to that direction.
Nice take on the challenge but I find the composition boring, way too centered and I would have liked this image heaps better if the coin were composed somewhere along the rule of thirds composition.
You could probably pull in a little closer on the coin and have it fill up a lot more of the frame if you can do that with your lense you have. I think it would help the composition out cause the black triangle coming from the right edge of the frame is really distracting.
