Hi All,
I have been waiting on the ACT Historic Society to get back to me with something... but no!
A couple of months ago now I reunited the war medal with the owners daughter Pam. It was a great (bloody freezing) afternoon. The Historic Society did some research on the 'Corrigan' family...
Nice find there Silver!
I found a WWII medal myself a number of months back. I contacted the War Memorial who tracked down the daughter. On Monday just gone (30/6) I met up with the ACT Heritage Library and the daughter (husband too) and I handed the medal to her. She was over the moon. I did...
Very interesting thought there Pete...
I made a video of me digging hole just yesterday to show a mate at work how I extract a coin. I recall I had one crusty side and one clean side. So, I watched the video to see whether the crusty bit faced up or down. Guess what, the coin was vertical...
You mean Silver_Fox ;)
Today the ACT Heritage Library organised a meet up with the medal owners daughter, that will happen on the 30th June.
For more updates you're gonna have to wait till then ;)
Coins tend to come out of the ground in good decent condition here in Canberra. I was lucky the other week where I pulled out a rare 1946 Penny in very good condition. I did however get 2 really bad ones last week that had growths all over them like they had Leprosy or something!
I put the coins...
Interesting indeed!
What you need is a water proof detector ;)
I've got the Garrett AT Pro International, it loves the rain :P
There forecasting rain tomorrow but I don't care, still going out!
