CTX madness 2017

[Heatho]

Cheers fellas, still buggered.

Smoky, not many people detect around here at all. There are a few but the only one I know that gets out regularly is B5 but he's about 10 k's down the road from me.

Numpty, $82 is an outstanding total, way ahead of me until today, which was just a bit of luck.

Hey GP, the sideline area closer to the carpark had a small rise up from the field like a bit of a smooth sloped grass hill, perfect for spectators to sit or lay back and watch a game. Also the area near the toilets and cateen was chockas with coins. Tho opposite side of the oval and other end was empty. So I guess it wasn't too random, there were plenty of coins in the spots you'd suspect them to be.

I carry a bucket so it's easier for me to access my digging tools and pinpointer, all finds go in the bucket. It was getting heavy enough that I was getting sick of carrying it by the end of the hunt.

WOWOWOWO SO many goldies! I love that button! Maybe Gofind owner like myself had cleaned up the place digging up all the aluminium and ring pulls??? That is worth it! Yes I am always looking for spots with google earth as well. It is very convenient tool! :Y: :Y: :Y:

G'day Heath. As with the other guys, I have had a catchup scroll right through this topic. Man you are still smashing out some awesome hunts. You surely deserve the award for most consistent producer. Top effort.

Great hunt Heatho; just don't know how you find all that stuff. People must throw their piggy banks at you!!

And the Jewellers throw the rings Danny's way....

GDA , I grid hard for those rings with my ctx :lol:

 

[Heatho]

Thanks fellas. I just put the finds down to huge amounts of people in my area and very few detectorists in the area, I very rarely ever bump into to anyone else swinging a detector.

I've been out swinging heaps over the past few months RJ, generally 2 or 3 hours maybe 5 days a week.

Nice. I hope to regain that enthusiasm.

HGere are my finds from my last couple of hunts, one was a local park and the other was Manly beach around the volleyball courts where I managed to get 7 silvers, I find it hard to believe that these old silvers are still there..... Unless they were churned up by the big storm we had about 5 months ago, really keeps me wondering. Oldest was a 1914 shilling. There was another that had a hole in it, must have been a pendant at one stage. All the coins were pretty badly worn.

 

[Smoky bandit]

Doing well again Heatho...Silver and gold. :Y: Nice

 

[Heatho]

The coin pendant I found yesterday is actually a French 1865 Napoleon III silver 50 cent coin, thought it was an eroded sixpence until I had a better look at it.

 

[Ramjet]

Awesome find Heath.

 

[Smoky bandit]

Nice..Shame about the hole :Y:

 

[B5MECH]

:Y: Nice run Heatho :Y: there's still sea silvers on the beach 8)

 

[Goldpick]

Who would have thought, a very unexpected coin to find at the beach! Were the silver coins very deep, maybe those that had already detected the courts were just targetting shallow spendables?

 

[Sandta]

Thats a great score
Who would have thought something like that could turn up
I was thinking the same as GP, others must have been cherry picking and missed the silvers
Surely others are detecting the area
Either way its all yours now

That is super cool Heatho.
