Todays hunt results.

Better photo up then hey ! :lol:

Here we go.
Full hunt.
Old metal Monopoly Boot too.

Was all excited digging this Florin ,... it was a round 50c piece till it came up out of the ground.
(still happy) (RJ won't be finding this one in a hurry) :lol:
1947 Florrie(at last a big silver).

thats a good hunt, glad you a stole one from the RJ hoard

RJ hoarding them makes them much rarer RKT ,... glad I was able to snag one at all !

Nice coins Silver, well done mate. Gotta be more there.

One at a time will do me now a days Heatho ,... unless I accidentally find more (big coin spill),
I'm happy to spread them out over time now ,... if someone else snags a few I'll be lifting my game then (ha), might even break out a winter sweat in my hurrying haste. :lol:

Cleaned up the 3d and the 1/2 Penny from the 4th of June hunt.
1943 3d.
1st it went into CAB overnight, and came out like this.


Then, I used Electrolysis, but, I made the mistake of cleaning the gator clip with the brass wire brush then dipping the brush into the solution to clean the brush, with all the rust type stuff still floating in solution I hit the switch and ended up with this.


So I used Bicarb to clean it up next, did alright fairly quickly too, cept you can tell where the black sat before(trick of the light, the black bit is actually shining more than the rest, so it looks different).


The 1922 halfpenny from that hunt also had a surprise in store for me, it turned out to be a 1927 HP.


Was in good nick when dropped, just a pity that they don't hold their ground against the elements like silver does over time.

Got out yesterday for a small win, picks this evening if I can.
got a private 50/50 this arvo, ladies real keen too. used to be a surgery, 100 yrs+ house.
See how I go, I'll take the camera so that I get 100% in the photo shoot before we split the moolah (ha). 8)

I like the sound of that

Looking forward to the 4 exult. Sounds like a winner.

Luvvy musta been busy elswhere this arvy, cause she didn't get homex oh well, next week I'll try again to organise it.
still managed a few dollars to ease the greif a bit.

Yesterdays catchup post first.
Excuse the blurry stuff.
Bit of copper enemelling, just a practice piece by the looks of it.

1943 3d I recon.


The one and only coin for the hunt. :/

Then there is todays foray into the strange and unknown arena of hurry up and wait, waiting and wishing luvvy was gunna show ,... next time she'll be sweet I'm sure,... x x crossies
Well here's what you get when you don't get what you want. :lol:

At least I scored a PD at my alternative hunt site.

And tell me, who says I love you with their foot ?

Must mean something like," I kick because I care ! ". :lol:

Must be a 1943 3d day I picked up two of the little buggers this morning.
SinHof.

Foot fetish? ??

1943 is as common as chook food, they musta handed em round for free (just about) to top up the Aussie Economy to make up for all the war service pays taking coinage out of the country.

Got out early for a quick hunt before going to do a 50/50 block.
here's the passing the time hunt till 7.30am.


Then I hit the 50/50 block, but it was a bit of a fizzer find wise.

25c and a HalfPenny

Thought the only saving grace of the day would be if it turned out to be a 1923.

Lotta crud.

Still couldn't tell.

19 something ?

Still 19 somethin ??

BUGGA 1920 Bugga1

No bran new XP DEUS today then.

Got out this morning and thought I may as well get a few this time hey(before anyone else gets to em)(ha)
Entire hunt.

1933 penny.(could be 35)

Thought this was a token at first.

other side

1887 ,... but not a token, a french coin 10 Centimes

Got three Thrippies.



And a nice looking 6d

Other side of the 6d

1914 shilling.

And the other side of the shilling.

woulda got a lot more except the batteries went flat, and I was broke, and far from home ,.. so i left it at that.

Excellent hunt Silver, certainly living up to your name. The 10 Centimes is a doozy of a find, not likely to come across many of those in your lifetime, especially that old.

Good hunting that's considered a good outing on coins
