    Another afternoons outing in Aus :ausflag:

    Had a few hours detecting yesterday afternoon. Nothing but a single dropped musket ball till the deathknock, then just as I was about to come home (it was starting to get dark) out came a nice button with a boar, 1866 penny, George III penny and an 1855 Hanks and Lloyd token commemorating the...

    Yesterdays outing in Oz:ausflag:

    Yesterday afternoons finds from underneath some trees adjacent to an old cricket oval. Only needed a two bob to have a complete set. The dark marks on the sixpence and threepence indicates how they were stuck together when they came out of the same hole. Thanks for looking........Ken.

    This Arvo's Finds

    Went to a school this afternoon for a few hours. Had already been over this particular area twice before but this time went really SSSLLLOOOWWWLLLYYY. If I'd been any slower I wouldn't have been moving at all. There were no really clear signals so dug all the broken one's that bounced from...

    One silver:ausflag:

    Yesterday afternoon went back to the sporting fields for an hour where I found the 1826 penny a few weeks ago. Although it's now been pushed about a bit the area was popular for shows, horse races etc during the mid to late 1800's. Most of it's under a golf course now and there's no chance of...

    Yesterdays find:ausflag:

    Took my grandson to soccer trials yesterday afternoon and whilst he was there I went actross the road to another sports field for a quick look with the Quattro. Thought I might find some petrol money but only ended up with $2. Then right in front of the canteen up popped George. You just never...

    Day out

    Hi all. Geoff and I took the Quattro's out for a spin a couple of days ago looking for an old country racecourse. We didn't find it. Know the approximate location but just couldn't hit it. Now waiting for a friend to send me a photograph taken in the 20's to get our bearings. Day wasn't a...

    Another day at the races:ausflag:

    Geoff and I had another day at the old racecourse yesterday. Although we've hit it hard the last four or five trips it still managed to produce coins. Have attached photo of Geoffs finds uncleaned, mostly 1800's English threepence and sixpence. I managed about $20 in decimals and a few English...

    Pub finds

    Had the opportunity for a dig a couple of weeks ago. Our mate Robert very kindly gained permission from one of his local publicans to have a look at a spot behind his hotel. Plumbers digging a hole had come across a patch of bottles in the back yard. Three garbage bins of skittles and...

    Yesterdays finds:ausflag:

    Yesterday afternoon went to a spot at the back of the local showground for a couple of hours. It's right out the back in the middle of nowhere and a few years ago the area was fenced off and used over a couple of years to hold a local music festival. I've been over a couple of times before...

    Few :More Oldies:ausflag:

    Hi all, managed a few hours yesterday afternoon at the inn site, not really close to where the inn stood, but out in the adjacent paddock in the middle of nowhere. I was still digging bits of lead and shotgun cartridge bases so I followed them out. In a radious of about 3 feet turned up a...

    Old Silver:ausflag:

    Managed to get out to an Inn site this morning for a few hours. Have found a few coins there before. Not a lot of trash and any coins found are guaranteed to be old as it ceased trading in 1875. Managed four coins, 1826 shilling, two sixpences 1834 and a no date George 111 and an 1864...

    Another day at the races:ausflag:

    Hi all. Managed to team up with Geoff for another day at the old racecourse. As usual it was a real fun day. I have posted a couple of pics of my English and pre decimal Australian finds. I'm not too sure what Geoff finished up with but he had a swag of coins the same vintage as mine...

    They're still out there

    you've just got to keep looking. Found this at an old site I've been to a number of times. 1855 Sydney Mint gold Sovereign. Depth about 8 inches, came up as a solid 32. I nearly fell over. If you don't look, you don't find. That's what I like about detecting, you just never know what you...
