    Pitting on Silver Coins (Florins)

    Found these 2 florins right next to each other (on separate days :8 ) Cleaned them with bi carb on the finger and noticed the pitting on the coins. Not much longer they look a bit rusted /pitted/tarnish! Does this occur sometimes? Surely not from bi carb?

    (SA) Metropolitain creeks

    Might be a completely silly newb question.... Wondering is anyone has bothered panning or even detecting in metro streams/dry creek beds? I'm intrigued whether they may contain anything aside from leaches, spiders and pollution, due to travel washed down in heavy rains.

    Hello from Adelaide

    Hi all, I've been keen to do a bit of prospecting for years but never got much further than taking about it! Stumbled on this site while realising there's too much information for me to take in on detectors before I buy one. Well finally I'm in the market to buy something. I'm interested in...
