Going back CAN be good:clapping:

[Furious T]

This morning I had to go into town, so thought I'd take the X Terra 70 with me for the ride (and an hour's detecting) I went to a spot where I'd found and 1910 3d about a month ago. 1910 was the first year that Australia had its own coinage, so the 3d was a special one for me. Found a number of coins near the surface, but one of them (gave a reading of 30) was a couple of inches down. Turned out to be a 1908 halfpenny! English, in the reign of Edward VII. It's great to find something more than 100 years old. HH Sapper

Congrats on the great find! That would sure make your day, Beale.

You just cant beat finding pre-decimal's! A threepence or sixpence beats $1 and $2 coins everyday of the week. Well done.

Nice finds! I was down under back in Feb. went to Ballarat and spent a few hours looking for gold only found lead shot and 22 slugs etc. but did convince me the 6" DD will find tiny things. I wasn't proficient with the X-70 yet, am just now getting used to the tones on trash and coins. Hope to get back sometime to look for gold and drink some more James Squire Amber and Porter.
