[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 144297, member: 1916"] Did a bit of research this afternoon and found a new park to hunt. It looked good on the old aerials and thought I will have a chance of picking up an old cricket buckle. Got there just on dark and the site has obviously had some significant earthworks done. :( The edges still look like they have some potential so I started near the car park and worked a small embankment. The first three targets were gold and the next a '51 half penny. Not as old as I was looking for but a great start, and then it happened, I was hitting target after target and I had gone less than 10m. Lots of small coins were rolling in so I cranked the discrimination up and was surprised to be pulling more gold than a GPZ on steroids. It was a quick outing but I am happy to have found some good coffee-money ground and who knows; maybe some of the area has that pre-1800s potential I am chasing.
