Yesterdays loot

[rileymcsmiley]

It really is quite interesting how much history certain places have that people just seem to completely look over. This park that I went to yesterday in particular was a prime example. Wasn't expecting much since I just assumed it would've been extensively detected in the past due to its location, but I knew it did date back a while ago so I gave it a shot hoping for at least a penny or some decimals. The results however were quite pleasing for the amount of work I put in (About 2 hours) and there is still detecting opportunities there for me in the future still.

Here are the results: 1x 1942 Three pence, 1x 1911 Penny, 1x 1922 Half Penny, 1x 1944 Penny, 1x 1943 Half Penny, $19 in lunch money and a silver ring. Also around 15 one and two cents Also haven't yet gotten around to cleaning any...

nice mix of modern spendables & pre-decimal coins.

A good hunt. Gotta be happy with that lot.

 

[Goldpick]

Good job, I reckon as soon as you start picking up 1 & 2c coins, you know you are in with a chance of finding some pre-decs, especially if there are some older ones coming out of the ground.

Had a giggle - SA Bogan found the same ring earlier this year on the beach but yours is in better condition - some nice finds there!

[Jaros]

Great going, Riley. I've lost track of the detector you're using?? Maybe try a smaller coil to gain a bit of depth in you sweeps.

I'll post some photos of all the stuff I've gotten so far from the park out of I think 4 hunts. Probably in a few hours. By the way I use a Garrett AT Pro, getting a smaller coil for christmas.

 

[Jaros]

That will help your hunting a hell of a lot-Cheers

Here's all the collective loot from the park, excluding the decimal coinage (around $50). Some of the pennies are a bit tarnished because I forgot about them in the vinegar... Woops!

Also an interesting belt buckle from 1988, made in the USA.

 

[Coyote]

Cool well done mate.

 

[treasureman]

nice finds man! the belt buckle is unique. And you get some nice silver coins too.

 

[Goldpick]

You putting a lot of us to shame with those great finds, well done! Certainly looks like you have a great producing spot to detect in, now where did you say that spot was again?

 

[Robert Le Mal]
