Hmm...I'll have a cartwheel please?
Just watched 'cointector's mate Mick find 3 full sovs in one hole on YouTube!!!! Wouldn't mind finding a gold coin too :money:

Congrats well done.

They must have alloyed the copper with something to have it hang on for a few centuries and come out looking as good as that. Some of our coins look worse after a couple of decades.

It IS in great shape unbelievable actually, although I did have a light directly above it to bring out the detail :Y:

Now that's an old coin for Oz, great find! I also watched the sovereign dig, a very lucky man - a dream outing.

Great goin'.

Too right silver!!
Am I right in thinking florins had the words 'two shillings' on them until 1936?

This might please some folk..don't usually clean but thought I'd post a pic of my '22 florin all nice and shiny

Well done bud.... thats the way. Nice silver :Y:

Is it wrong/weird to detect along the outside of a cemetary's nature strip? That's my plan tomorrow.
Interested in folks views..
Probably should have asked a bit earlier cheers, Luke.

Not wrong in my eyes
But NOT inside ... that would be extremely disrespectful

I would never

Some of the best finds have come out of actual graves(shock value).... just look at Tootncarmen.
So obviously it depends only upon where you sit in the heighraaaacky of society as to whether you can or cannot dig around amongst the bones of others in order to pillage and plunder the treasures buried with them amidst the rites and rituals prevalent when they met with their demise.
Best not to dig around the graves unless your name is Lord So-n'so in real life .... and even the ghosts of the departed have departed
