I live in the Geelong region and never have success at Torquay beach for some reason. But saying that..since 1st January I have found nearly $50 on other beaches around Geelong. Been going out early evening when beaches are a bit quieter. Too busy with holiday makers through the day.

Definitely not putting it up for sale SunriseBoy...I love it too much.

Wow Silver, I knew it was worth more than my $19.25 !!! The 1954 florin is a royal visit one. I couldn't believe that the Ol shop was selling it for that price when I bought it. After I paid for it I told the sales lady that I metal detect and love finding old coins and she told me that they...

Thanks Silver. There is no 1950 threepence but a 1910 and 1963, a 1910 sixpence, a 1962 sixpence, a 1954 florin and a 1962 florin.

Damn...even if there was a 1933 shilling..I wouldn't part with it (but maybe workout how to swap the coin over..lol)

Hi Silver, so glad you love my clock....I love it too....and will never part with it. Best $19.25 I have ever spent. Sadly there are only 2 shillings on the clock, one is 1931 and the other is 1953. No 1933. Is the 1933 shilling valuable?

Thank you mbasko. I looked up calgarycoin.com and after much looking I have come to the conclusion that my coin is from the Emporor Sheng Tsu 1662-1722. Tried to upload a photo but file was too big.

Is there anyone here that could help me date this coin please

So happy to have found my first Chinese coin. Found this coin not far from where I found a 1858 Holloways token middle of this year. Would have loved to do more detecting here but was too scared of the snakes. Will go back next year when it is not snake season

Sorry Captain Zero, it's not for sale

Nothing at this time AtomRat. It has a backing and we have not removed it yet

AtamRat...definitely pressed copper. I still can't believe my find.
