A beachside hunt with Rocket yesterday. Tried the park area first and only got BBs and a couple of $. Moved down onto the beach to try out my new scoop which works great. Only there ten minutes and the arm cuff on my detector broke. Fairly common with Garrett. I made up a new cuff with some 10 mm poly pipe.

My cuff is still broken on the ACE250,.... and it is still on reverse side out from when I turned it around so that I could still use it,... at least the shorter reverse side is extreemely hardy and still does the job, albeit a bit on the slippery side(only because of its shortness). :)
 
Haven't had ,much chance to get out for a swing in a week. Did a quick run to Dubbo mid week for a funeral and not much time for detecting. Got a hapenny and a few goldies in an empty block next to my Sister in law that used to have a church on it, built 1902. Only had a quick swing with 3 young nephews 'helping' me. Her house is built on church land so I'll be having a proper look next time I'm out that way.

My first pic is from after night work Monday morning. Spent an hour or so in a small spot that has given a couple of pennies before. 2 x Half pennies and the smallest pistol butts I have seen.

Today's plans with Rocket seemed a washout so I decided to stay local. Rocket decided to come up as well and we tried spot we haven't been to before. Seemed like a slow start and I think Rocket's Britannia penny and thrip were the first pre decs. Then I popped a '56 florin. I also got a halfpenny 1 metre away and the '47 florin 2 metres away from the first.

The token is a great find. Only my 2nd penny token. M. Somerville, Wholesale Family Grocer, Auckland, New Zealand, 1857

So some great finds for me and Rocket got some cool finds too so it was a good day out.

Looks like you guys had a ball, more florins for the collection, another rare token, and what must be the first arrow I've seen detected on the forum. :)
