I had another first today... my first syringe. It was just laying on the surface. Picked it up and put it in a disposal bin at work.

Last night's hunt had it's highs and lows. I started out at a new spot that I thought would be full of goodies. It was the cleanest place I have ever swung a coil, just nothing there at all. After half an hour I had 3 bottle tops and 2 cents. So I moved on to another place.
Here I found what is probably one of the coolest finds I've ever detected and I scratched it 8.( A WW2 RAAF hat badge. I knew it was something a bit special when I saw the crown on top.. Thought I found my first gold ring which after cleaning turned out to be a plumbing fitting :lol: Not long after I got a silver ring. When I got home and cleaned it... a junker.
I'm still getting small coin spills with last night's being the sixpence and 3 x 2 cent pieces together. When I was a kid we used to occasionally get a sixpence in change instead of 5 cents. I assume that this is how these 4 coins came to be together. Another bowling club badge as well.
Overall not a bad night. Just annoyed with myself for scratching the badge.

I found a Queen Victoria Sixpence with a 1c piece stacked together once, and my niece gave me a florin that she got in change about 2 years ago,... so even now it's not impossible to find silvers in your change from the shops, of course it depends which side of the counter you are on as to weather you will get one or not(most probably).
Nice dowling badge and that RAAF hat badge with the grand canyon scored across the front of it would have been a bit of a heart starter find at the time,... lucky it wasn't a florin though,... with a scratch like that it would have affected its melt value(ha).

Its a sweet find, doubt you would ever sell it, so the gouge hasnt effected its value

A great way of looking at it Rocket. Thanks. A quick look online and they sell from about $40 - $65.
It doesn't show in the pic but it's a bit bent, which I didn't do.
As you said I won't sell it.
