I kept this one in my pocket for a while as I kept detecting, willing it to be an old Threepence.

But alas and alack it turned out to be a 1943 Threepence(still 925 sterling silver at least).

And the Florin turned out to be 1962(50% silver), still a Florin is a Florin after all, and enough to leave me happy as.

Hi mate,
Yes, I found interesting things and took him to the mining and found a nugget of 1.5 grams. I was using a small coil GARRETT super sniper.

In the 2010 guide(aussie coins and banknotes) it lists as $6.00 for uncirculated.....so for 35 years someone else took care of this coin for me(I'd like to say thank you for that),...sure its not perfect, but, in another 30 - 40 years this coin will be a little bit harder to find in this condition and may hold a bit more value than 50c,....in so saying, inflation may well make any profit margin in the negative if you compare it with what I could buy today with it and even what you could buy with it in 1981,....it would have been far better to probably spend it again today instead of being caught out holding onto it and having 50c less in the pocket to spend now(when I need it),....and having to cart it around for 40 years only to find out that no one wants it and lollys are actually $1.00 each(making it worthless),...Oh well,...I'll still hang on to it anyway,...just incase(haha).
