1901 Medal Found With Equinox

Hey guys, may have already seen this around other parts of the forum, learning some things about the forum as I go. This needs to be posted. This medal was surprisingly quiet on the equinox.

Cheers silver, Ive been by that site, its very interesting for coin info. I also found the outside of a bolivar citador coin 2007. But on a more exciting note I got a 1829 Portuguese reis coin a while back. found in Melbourne, who ever owned put a hole in it to wear as a pendant perhaps.

nice finds eve

Got yourself some very interesting finds there, thanks for posting them up! :Y:

Top finds and very interesting. Well done. :Y:

Nice finds eve
Hope to see some more

Thanks guys will keep em coming.

Hi gentlemen of the forum, I went detecting over the weekend and made some more exciting finds including a 1910 threepence which was bent up and is not pictured.

Getting into the older shillings eve, one of my favourite coins. Looks in good nick too.

Congrats on the florin/silvers, was the ring silver or just a junker?

Cheers, the ring was silver, has 925 stamped

Looks like you have some good places to work.
Well done.

Pity that 1930 penny was cut in half eve...
nice silvers and ring too ! 8)

heat up your bent thrippy in boiling water (carefully), place between two pieces of leather (as long as it's bend is possible to straighten) on a hard flat surface (like cenent) and hit it flat on with a hammer, and with enough force to flatten it out. All while it's still hot (so be prepared and do it quickly, safely, and concisely).
Remember it's already bent so nothing that can happen to it matters a great deal, but done properly you will at least have a flat coin to show off.... and a story to tell with it.

Thanks silv, I will give that trick a go for the three pence .
Well at least I can salvage half of the thousands the 1930 would have been worth because I now have half the the coin, does it work like that? Hehe

Only if you can make the sale.... :lol: :rainbow:

Saw a nice big old tree line as I was driving through Melbourne today and decided to detect under it, this led me to a little trail of silvers and down to a little park ?

Well spotted, the eye of the eagle gets the prey !
