not bad, not bad at all

[garnethawkins]

Just had a random fella ring me up (gotten my number from an old business card for my music lol) asking if i had any pre decimal coins id be willing to part with, apparently i had met a mate of his a while back whilst i was wearing my prospecting shirt.
Anyways, long story short he goes home with half a jar of pennies/half pennies and i walk away 20 bucks richer!
Not bad considering up to this point the kids where using them as play money :lol:

Well done mate. Good to see the shirt paying dividends :lol:

 

[garnethawkins]

Yep just paid for its self anything after here is profit

 

[Nugget]

I wonder what his need for pre-dec coppers is?

 

[garnethawkins]

Dunno either a collector or knows a dealer would be my bet I've seen some people selling face value pennies for a couple of dollars a pop down this way

Nice going GH

 

[garnethawkins]

I have also gotten rid of a fair few antique glass bottles and old oil drums to people who are after them, all thanks to the shirt

 

[gavfromoz]

It's a great way to promote the group and become more and more well known.

Nugget, any possibility of PA Beanies for the next Winter period?

 

[Nugget]

I'll look into it Gav

 

[garnethawkins]

Not a bad idea that gav! Wouldn't mind one of them myself

 

[gavfromoz]

Will be my 1st Winter out there in this hobby, just want it to be comfy lol.

Thanks Nugget

That's the beauty of our hobby. If you play you cards right, it'll pay for itself! Ya gotta love that.

I had a lady approach me recently asking to borrow/have some of my old pennies. She wanted to use them to dye tarnished circles from the coins onto silk!

 

[BSellin]

Are there PA backpacks or MD PA tagged duffle bags?

I have a QGC duffle bag that's a great bag and fits my MD, little scoop shovel, a fold up shovel, pick, sieve water bottle and other nick naxs. Maybe a few PA bag?

 

[kleinman98]

Now I would be interested in those sorts of goodies.

 

[kleinman98]

The clothing not the coins. Sorry Garnet. Got my own

 

[garnethawkins]

All good kleinman i knew what you meant and actually agree with you, i would love a pa duffel, especially one of the old schoolmilitary type ones, and as for the coins, up till yesty, where just junk to me, wrong colour lol
