Silver at last

[golddiggerart]

Good onya ktmman for letting the young fella step up and help out.

So my Padawan learner and I went back to the swamplands to see what crusty critters we could find.

Crusty Half penny

Crusty Brit 3d

Crusty 6d, see where I'm going with this

And finally,a really worn,crusty Florin :rainbow:

And the rest...

Don't know for sure,but that could be 1923 on that half penny,right? 8)

The only silver I can date for now is the 1918 6d. Have them soaking in SAV for now.

That's one very crusty spot you have there mate...but Silvers look good to go. :Y:

Swamp coins 8) ....Those coppers are toast The penny looks like it'll turn to dust if you sneezed on it :lol:
Some nice early dates there....Do any 1800's coins show up in the swamp? :rainbow:
Difficult swinging in that long grass :Y:

Yeah mate,my golf club hunt was in the same spot. https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=341587#p341587
Think it's time to get the whipper snipper into this spot to see what else is there. Am running the 705 on full sensitivity as the grass keeps the coil about 10-15cm above the soil. at least there is no modern rubbish at this site.

Looking like a 1922 florin from here mate.

:Y: :Y:

You certainly know how to flush out a bush sight 8) and that spoons has plenty of hall marks on it :Y:

Well done

 

[Goldpick]

Did well to pick up on the smaller silvers in the high grass, does the English threepence dip into the 1800's?

Unfortunately many of those hallmarked spoons are plated, come to think of it I am yet to come across a full silver piece of cutlery as yet.

 

[ktmman]

Not sure yet Goldpick,it is a veil head Victoria so might squeeze into the 1800's.

 

[ktmman]

Whoops,I "accidently" bought a second 705 for the young fella to learn on.
I can hear it now,Daaad,I need the pinpointer every 15 seconds

Old hall recon haul

First coin of the day :rainbow:

Another sunbacker,lucky it was never hit with the mower.

Was so many lead head nails around,the lead to coin ratio was high.Roof was recently replaced.

Another shilling to get carded,looks to be in better condition than my 1933 Shilling is,though not as valuable.Water washed only.

 

[B5MECH]

Nice 35 there K :rainbow: arty: and a sunbaker...Penny looks like a cracker too 17?
Get those crayons out :lol: :Y:

 

[Heatho]

Very nice 35, getting lucky on the low mintage ones, well done. :Y:

 

[Rockhound]

Nice hunt mate :Y: That shilling is a rippa.Gotta luv old hall's

 

[Ryan]

That is a very nice looking old hall forsure with plenty of open flat area to look at {) one sweet spot :Y:

Yes loving that Aussie shilling

 

[Ramjet]

Great hunt KTM. :Y:

 

[Sandta]

Good score KTM :Y:
Nice looking site
Gotta be more hiding there somewhere

 

[Goldpick]

Nice older shilling, have you thought about sneaking underneath the hall for a detect, might have been a few coins slip through the floorboards in the early days.
