Looks like my type of site, well done on the haul of silver Sandta.

 

[Ramjet]

Nice work.

 

[Sandta]

I hunted 2 different spots after todays interview
The first spot produced ,part there of ,3 different toy guns a '52 penny and a bent '43 half penny
My heart started thumping when i thought id found a cartwheel penny. Unfortunately it turned out to be chunky medalion, i dont think its very old and probably a keyring or similar
The second location gave up $9.55 an old buckle , a button and a tyre valve cap
Until it started pouring rain

This is the medalion/keyring ... Not real sure what the image is though

Might have been something like on here at one stage(not the same though.

[Sandta]

Ye ... Same same but different
Ill post up pics of the guns in the morning

 

[Sandta]

The other gun ( bits) must have gone in the bin with the canslaw

Not sure about the brass plaque .... 'CLIM??? Patent'
Someone has cut it up by the looks

I started the day hunting for fossils again .
I didnt get any really good ones but will put pictures up in the fossil section tomorrow once i get them cleaned up.
I finished off the arvo swinging the sovereign for $16 , '44 threepence , 1883 sixpence and a silver ring

Unfortunately i nicked the sixpence but am stoked to have finally managed to pull pre decimals from this spot

I think the ring could have a bit of age to it ... It appears to be completely hollow

 

[Ramjet]

Nice, I like that ring. Looks old.

 

[Heatho]

Well done Sandta, I agree too, does look like an old ring.

 

[silver]

Was it(the ring) in the same hole as the 1883 6d ? ,.....it's all looking really good to me.
Can't half tell I'm stir crazy silver deprived.

 

[Sandta]

Went to a new spot yesterday arvo for a few hours
Its been raining on and off for a few days which has really helped with ground condition.
Typically the bottle tops etc were the majority of finds but a set of silvers and my first farthing were quite a reward

6 pennys '40,'47,'51,'52 and a crusty 1922 and 1895(the date is the only recognisable feature on this coin)
7 half pennys '42,3x'43,'45,'48,'51
Too many BB's a silver star charm and what i believe to be a musket ball ( its not smooth ... Its quite rough all over,with a flat spot i guess from impact)

The rubbish ...minus the copper ,brass and lead

 

[Goldpick]

Another full house, and plenty of silver - way to go. Getting some real good finds from various members across the forum lately, great stuff.

 

[Bundy Ben]

Very nice. Love that farthing.

 

[silver]

Full house right down to the farthing ,....i'll always remember that I saw that here first Sandta,.. Heave ho,..what a great Haul.
