It's another one of those Gaming tokens I scored a while back in the same spot pictured below. :Y:

My final dig for 2017 at Goldie Park, it's such a wonderful place and I'll miss it but it's time to move onto a new spot.
I managed to get to the old stable sight today and picked up a 1963 Half Penny, also had a walk around and found a spot that may have been the old
jockeys quarters....

Well it sparked my curiosity to see how much I missed and the answer is not much....I was correct in saying it would be hard yakka because for the first 2 hours only 3 good targets....I walked and walked and got excited at the slightest beep, it reminded me of when I first received the detector from winning the contest back in December 2016.

Anyway I can safely say I got a lot of it, not all but I'd say the majority share of the bounty from Goldie Park....Today I had a first there with a Sunbaker ring a ding ding.....So I am happy and time now to move. Thanks Ktmman if not for your post someone else would have found the ring.





Forecast next week is for warm weather so hopefully by the end of the week I can get a beach dig in.

All the best everyone. Cheers GDA :Y:

Certainly is Yin Yan and my wife loves it....She commented how different it is to all the others, I quickly took it off her finger and put it safely away. haha :Y:

Got out to the creek track this arvo for a quick swing in a small section and was quietly surprised to find some pre-decimals all in great condition....
Very happy and found evidence of an old house sight which is why there were so many pre-decimals in this one spot.











Out in the field..





Old Stove door??



Until next time happy digging all. :Y:

The pennies are a bit random going by the dates which has me a little puzzled.... Thanks mate...

Thanks Silver mate.....That's the best Com Half I've ever gotten and I shall look after it....could be an EF coin worth $55 or at worst a VF $6 but to me it is priceless and may see the Tumbler... lol :Y:

Most early 1900's house sites I have detected always have a good spread of dates on the predecimals. You might be in with a chance of a few silvers at that house site with some luck, nice hunting. :Y:

Now that helps me out a lot because I was really puzzled over the random dates... Thanks mate. :Y:

So today Kiara and I went to the Creek Track and I did a section which I never tried before, the reason is because there are always sooo many people around I wouldn't get any detecting done, they'd be in my ear non-stop.
First target was a Fob/Pocket watch Face Plate, it was kind of random where it was situated and I knew somewhere someone had thrown the rest of it away and I was correct, about 5 metres further along down a small hillside track I hit on a loud signal which was a surface hit, it was hidden under the leaves and when I moved them I got a pocket watch with the glass in it but it was light.... More swinging in the same spot gave me the inner workings of another Pocket watch and I was happy with my finds.
Not far away say two metres on the same bit of hilly track I hit another nice signal and all I could think of was Pocket watch, Pocket watch.....
I was quietly surprised to find a Lead Battleship....amazing I thought to myself.....No more good signals came out of there so Kiara and I walked and picked off whatever targets we could and did okay with some coinage and a beauty of a Rams Head shilling....
Twas a good day and even Kiara enjoyed it a little more than usual.



























All the best to everyone, I hope you all have lots of fun and find some cool treasures.

Thanks mate, it makes it so much easier for everyone to see because sometimes the pictures just don't capture the finds well. :Y:

Thanks Sandta, yes this part of the track is next to a railway station which is why I can only go there on a Sunday when it's quiet....Was surprised to find the Fob Watch parts and also thought how many more were discarded over the banking. Will revisit again with Kiara. :Y:
