Went out bush to a spot were I was hoping to get some deep gold. I got some stuff deep all right, junk ! Real hard dry digging as well. I managed to get 3 small bits and this 1842 4 pence bit from a Maundy set. Very rare coins. I have only ever seen one other in 25 years of detecting. Bit knocked about but still a nice find. Got this one at 16 inches measured with the 17 inch by 10 inch mono coin on the GP3000. Just managed to hear it and thought it was gold.

Actually, the four pence, or "groat" was a normal circulating coin from 1836 to 1855, in addition to those included in Maundy sets. That is a very cool find! I reckon some miner lost that while swinging a pick or swishing a pan back in the mid 1800's. Definitely a little bit of Aussie heritage.
Cheers, and Happy New Year!
