Hi Silver,
I noticed the shilling you found that had been used as a washer. I found my first penny yesterday (haven't been at this very long)... and it has a hole in it that looks like a bullet hole? Size would indicate something like a 303 or maybe 7.62mm have you ever come across coins used for target practice?

And I can only hope to find some pre decimal coins like you have at some point in the future.

Robert
I found a 1942 copper penny with what looks like a .22 bullet dent in it, hasnt punched a whole clean through but has a good dent, dont have a decent photo of it to show atm.
 
Gday Kai, recon they thought they were a top shot if they could shoot the centre out of a spinning coin in the air in the old days, adds to the find I recon ! ,... don't find them like that very often hey. :D

Had a great year even with the bad leg Silver . Amazing detective I might add
Thanks Dan..... recon it'd happen for anyone who can show a keenness and a consistency combined with a bit of nouse. It's those few lucky hunts that lift the tally nicely though. Operative word being lucky. :lol:
 
That's a nice treasure chest! Ye must be a good pirate to accumulate yhat much loot. What's the one with the hole in it?
