Thanks Smokey, it was a good feeling going through all those bags of finds, they had all the details of the hunts written on the bags in permanent ink, some had mud maps (all gone now), but it was good to reflect on the where and when as we were going through all the finds ,..... because it was so long ago and all the hard digging forgotten it made it feel like silvers for free. :lol:

Maybe never silvers for free.....But ALWAYS Silvers for fun :Y:

Have to revise those numbers up by three
one shilling
1913 or 1818, hard to tell

abd two threepences
1881

and 1908

they were soaking and got overlooked in the count up.
Bit hard to see them unless you rotate them in the right light ,... look like they were all beach coins.

Nice Silver.......Silver...I cant wait to find a pre 1900s coin....1906 is my earliest...Just need to keep swinging and hope my coil goes over one :Y: ...Some big tides coming in two weeks...So fingers x :Y :rainbow: O arty: :

Kato is sitting behind me salivating, and probably hanging out to go for a hunt. Coin envy, LOL

Nice to have logged it so well and bring those digs back into your mind.

Yup nice collection of silver coins and the history behind them !

Thanks fellas, one day I might get to clean em all up, just seems like a big job to me atm ,... but, I was eying off a few of those easy looking ones to clean, but who wouldn't hey !

Well, it's turned into what's in the icecream container and the big vacola bottle ,... sorry I didn't take any pre sorting photo's ,... I thought it was just gunna be a simple split em into decimal spendables, 1's&2c's, and a few more pennies n halfs, as I've put em aside years ago (once again no goldies)(ha), but, of course it turned out to be a check em as you go deal once I spotted an iffy 5c that turned out to be a 6d in the sunlight, so I was carefully checking after that ,.... I just added the booty to the other days piles from the 2011-2012 sortings.
These would be fromm older still (I know that from where I grabbed em from to sort through).
any way, I've put all those dirty spendables into the big vacola bottle.
laid it over for the photo

gotta go for a drive to retrieve some people, back soon with more photo's. :Y:

And here's the 4ltr icecream container, definitely just 1&2c pieces in there now.

And here's the PD brownies in a large nuttela jar.

and here's all the decaying coppers (bb&PD)
seperated from the rest to limit its spread.

and, there were the others that turned up amongst it all, musta missed em years ago, you can see why.

So there were 7 sixpences that I musta thought were 5c back in the day.

and two threepences that were posing as 1c's.

and what's looking to me like a ramshead shilling under sand.

There was also an American cent that stood out to me, not sure when I threw that in there, coulda come from anywhere I've been back in the day.

turns out it was 1898 :Y: :Y:

and there was a half a halfpence too
1916 farthing

So here's a few closer photos of some of the 6d's.
1950

1921

1951

and one of the 3d's
1939

anyway, happy again to find some more silvers hiding in plain view (so to speak)
