Always have the same thought every time I dig one up....... :rolleyes: ....one day

This one was used for target practice :mad: I found about 50 bullets around it before I tracked them to the source of my frustration.

I found 3 torpedo bottles a week ago that were also used for target practice, it makes a grown man cry 8.( 8.(

All good & full tins of gold come to those who wait(and persist) Wally. and hopefully full Torpedo bottles too.
 
Ahhhh,....Wally got a round fifty,... that's what rung out in our lounge room. :eek:
 
Very nice, can cross a few finds off the bucket list with that silver 50c and a couple of tasty rising suns. Would love to find another one of those 50c one day, too many people hoarding them rather than dropping them. :)
 
Another nice haul Wally
Those rising suns look great. You dont get to see many 50c pieces plucked from the wild.

Hehe I have a few I'm hoarding in my collection. :)
 
They have approximately the same silver by mass as the florin Chewy so are worth hoarding.

I have been waiting for a florin to surface from this site but have dug just about everything else. Big silver looks great when it comes out of the ground and I thought I had that mystical florin but was very surprised to see it surface.

The 39 & 41 HPs, razor sharpener, watch and small rising sun came from the same spill along with about 20 canvas islets so am thinking it is an old tent site.

Great thing is I walked away leaving more targets for another day.
 
Looks like I am on a florin-less silver run ;) Bagged these taking a quick detour today

Bought a new digging tool from Miners Den Parramatta (gratuitous plug intended), it is a real weapons at cutting circular plugs, and silver chains that are layed out in a line :8
