Can't find any good photos to post, didn't even realise there was a 1925/3 overdate shilling, mayhap you have one there.

 

[ktmman]

Here is your close up Silver, I didn't know there was a overdate either.

 

[ktmman]

Unfortunately I did not walk over that elusive Gothic Florin today. Here are the lucky coins I did happen across.

Pennies.

Silvers.

Coin of nothingness. If anyone recognizes the head on this, maybe I can guess the date.

In the field.

My young apprentice.

8) monarchs on coins, start at the bottom and work your way up.
I'd say OLD HEAD PORTRAIT QUEEN VICTORIA
1883-1901

 

[ktmman]

That's the one Silver,could not find a head that matched googling.
I'm going to call it as 1896 then.

Doing extremely well on the silver finds Ktmman, they all look superb to me !

This is a 1925/3 shilling, still a bit hard to tell even from this photo.
maybe it's the inner edge of the lower part of the 5, and maybe a little over the top edge of the flat at the top of the 5. 8)

 

[Sandta]

Another great hunt
Shame about the florin
Must be a good spot though with all those silvers popping out
Congrats

 

[ktmman]

Thanks Santa, it is a strange spot, can't find any info on the site yet it must have been popular 100 years ago.
Just a small cricket field in the bush,with a LOT of beaver tails to wade through.

Looks like a Queen Victoria veiled head 1895 - 1901

Nice haul

And on the third day of Christmas(Holidays) my honeyhole gave to meeeee.....

After hour 2 and only having 2 x $2 and some BB's I was almost ready to give up until the first silver of the day popped up,
and it was a Florin. The silvers just kept coming after that.
Good to see the old timers were well off enough to shoot perfectly good sixpences for fun.

 

[Goldpick]

Cracking site you've got there, must have been well and truly overlooked by other detectorists judging by the amount of silver coming out of the ground, great stuff! Sixpence target practice?

 

[ktmman]

Thanks Goldpick, the silver to copper ratio seems way out of proportion.
The old cane/dairy farmers in the area must have been making good money to drop so much silver on the ground,but i'm sure glad they did.

,.... 12
what an excellent hunt ! 8)
Bet the old boy was a great shot (or old girl), but I recon the young uns fingers woulda smarted for hours after holding up that 1928 6d ,.... mind you, a really really good shot woulda had em foist up a 3d I recon (ha).
Probly took the shot from a hundred yards too !

 

[ktmman]

I think there was plenty of practicing going on by the amount of .22 cases and bullets I've found.
Or maybe a lot of rabbits.

 

[silver]

They do get a tad angry when the other team is late I suppose, this is Australia we're talking about !

 

[havenacrack]

Wow Ktmman you got more silver in one hunt than I have in the whole year, top hunting top site!
