Golddiggerart - Detector finds...

[golddiggerart]

Amazingly old coin for Australia, congratulations on the find. Makes you wonder how the heck that made it to Australia, other than a good luck charm brought from abroad.

An Irish farm hand?

I was just wondering if it came out of the ground like that or if you'd cleaned it a little to end up with the bit of green on it ,... always good to have an insight into age in ground and what it can do. :Y:

I water washed it and used a sponge to wipe the dirt off and that is how it looked.

Probly should look up how to make sure it stays good once exposed to the air for any length of time, like what a museum would do.
definitely a find if significance with regards to Australia hey ,.... nice piece of history mystery.

Pretty sure you can get a wax sealant for older coins to prevent further oxidation, though last time I looked it was pretty pricey for a small container. From memory the brand was called Renaissance Wax.

I love my back lawn, when I feel the itch I can walk outside swing the detector and find predecimal coins.
Another Bucket lister as well. Woop woop let the good times roll.

It's Nickel/Silver and a little damaged but I'll take it. arty: arty: arty: arty: arty:

Poor Com Half Penny, I never managed to find the rest of it, maybe the other half has the 23 on it? The Nugget is Bronze I believe...

Until whenever I can get out for a swing again, best of digs to everyone, happy days and hope you all get some Bucket List items...

Cheers GDA

Love it when those thimbles come out of the ground in original form, so many end up flattened or broken to smithereens. :Y:

Why do we find so many pennies cut in half like that :/

It can't be cut by a lawn mower right because the cut is so clean and it is cut perfectly in half also,or am I wrong which doesn't happen very often except with the state of origin 8)

Please don't tell me it is the leprechaun's you know from Ireland :lol:

This one was cut by a mower I think...Not finding the other half I won't know....Still it is a cool find. :Y:

Just so you all know there is a Honey Hole in the lawn, I have not touched it yet and am sure there are going to be some amazing finds coins? relics are certainty....History of the past residents of this 1000 sq property... I am doing a plan to retrieve everything than refurbish and make the lawn look good. 3 feet underneath the ground is a lot of digging so I am going to get an expert in to help me.
I am looking forward to seeing what comes out of there. :Y:
