Ctx Madness

[mbasko]

Couple of silver, went out for 2 hours this morning before it got too hot. Then went for beers with Barney.

Didn't take you long to get back in the swing of things after your gem trip

 

[Heatho]

Cheers fellas.

I get bored easily Matt, have trouble sitting around relaxing these days, constantly feeling an urge to be productive.

 

[Heatho]

Got a few penny's and a 1960 Sixpence this arvo over about 2 hours. Gotta stop being lazy and hit some new spots, this is still the 5 minute from home place, time to start hitting some different suburbs parks a bit further away that I've selected on google earth and six map viewer.

Not much left at this spot at all.

 

[AtomRat]

Its much better than the old nails I scored at the old train platform today...

Come up nice n shiny mate

 

[silver]

Gotta be happy with just what you get sometimes,.... it's not all about the finds(it's all about all the gold and silver).

 

[Heatho]

Bugger me, another 1960 sixpence.... Errr and a schitty copper ring. :|

 

[Goldpick]

The ring might schitty, but it is the "precious". Another nice sixpence, must have been something going on in 1960.

 

[rusting]

Ring might be older than you think. Still just nice to find a ring or two.

 

[silver]

I wonder what the wording on the outside says(if it is words). :|

 

[Goldpick]

It's just a copy of the Lord of the Rings ring, though some were actually made in gold

It says: One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

 

[silver]

Ahhhh,... We m u s t have the precious !
Kids told me.

 

[AtomRat]

Bwahahaha love the precious Heatho! Can I hold it..

 

[Heatho]

Geez, that ring is my best find ever then......lol. It was pretty deep too, a good 15cm down, ground was very soft though.

Cheers for the enlightenment GP. It might have been plated I think, well it was but it seems to have shed anything resembling gold, truly a magic ring in that case. :lol:

 

[Havinago]

Thats 1 shiny six pence

 

[Heatho]

Got out today for a few hours at a new spot and had a pretty good hunt, got numerous pennies and half penny's, 5 silvers, $5, an Australian Air League wings badge, an Australian Military Forces button and another Navy looking type button made by Stokes & Sons Melb.

All up a good hunt. I have tried this spot before with the Aldi but there was too much junk, was heaps better with the CTX's powerful discrimination.

 

[Wally69]

Awesome hunt Heath looks like you have a hot spot

Edit - nice British merchant navy officers button

 

[Amachris]

Awesome!!! Your finds are always impressive Heatho
Looking forward to finding a park like that myself
Have sampled most of the parks around here and have not found a pre dec yet

 

[silver]

Amazing us again Heatho,...great looking finds(top hunting).

 

[Goldpick]

That's just CTX madness Heatho! Great looking site you've got yourself there with the mix of coins and military relics.

Its like he's holding up the rsl members as they leave..
