I think some Aussie soil can be quite acidic, could be the reason.

Too wet for detecting here. I'm bored.

Raincoat time Heatho,... I tape up the Detecta housing in a snaplock, as well as my earphones, and get out in it and dig,... just put a towel in the car for the seat on the way back.

I want to go out again, but Mrs Silver recons it's beach time with no detectors,.... oh well, gotta roll with the flow on some occasions just to help keep the peace,.... I'll scout some spots by detouring on the way down to the coast(hee hee).
Hope you get out soon RKT.

Mate that's dedication for sure.

I went out to the beach this morning , with my new purpose bought rain coat( that turns out to be NOT waterproof at all)
Think i got 36 cents for my efforts and a good handful of ring pulls

I went out with old mate once with garbage bags on for raincoats in the howling wind at the beach,... cut well they are nice and waterproof.

Managed to get 15 minutes in this evening Jaros,...as it was getting dark,... while waiting for number 1 son to be ready to come home from down at the beach(second trip down today).
Photo of finds to follow.

Here is my 15 minutes worth,... under pressure,.... no silver, just copper, both old(1c&2c) and modern( $2.00)

I'm just soo glad that no one ever got photos of us out there having a dig in our garbage bags.
Never cost old mate a cent either,... as I bought the pack of garbage bags,.... He is a lot thinner than me, so it would have looked like fatty and skinny having a dig ( Mrs Silver recons Cooch and Wal from Footrot Flats).

Still waiting for the tree surgery vid

Me too RKT,... gota get no. 1 son onto it still.

Wal & Cooch ..... The toad & the tapeworm!!!!



I have every book! Love it!!!

Mike!

That was us Mike,... except we were in garbage bags down past our knees and swinging detectors.

Here is that coin retrieval video I was going to post,.... from under the tree roots.

Any feedback on the video(my first) is welcomed.

You nailed it excellent commentary, we were there with you all the way. You deserved a florin for the effort!

i subscribed to you! awesome 1913 halfpenny, too bad it wasn't a FLORIN.

Thanks Fellas, I honestly just thought it was going to be silver, didn't even look at the screen on the Ace250, just got excited about it as I've puled a fair bit of silver around and under the easy to get roots out wider But this one had been completely overgrown by a few roots and only a precision surgical incision would(ethicaly) permit of its retrieval, after all it is a big old tree and I didn't want to do a hack job on it,... as for the commentary, it's like that in my head all the time, I just let it all out(ha).
Now there is one more signal under an old root on a nearby tree that requires my attention, I'm glad the last one didn't get scratched during the excavating,.. I don't condone the butchering of any trees by anyone, but if you have the skill set and perseverance to save the top layer and glue it all back in place properly afterwards so it looks like you were never there when you walk away at the end, I'd say,.. good job, after all, you hardly find a signal like that,.. ever.

Cheers and Beers.
Silver.

That thought did bounce across my mind as well K man, early in the thought process,... but some form of artistic desire and a feeling of kinship with the trees prevailed and I ended up doing it the only way that was open to me as a choice,.... it was tight though.
