Went for hunt #59 yesterday, bit of scrub land what used to be the property of an 1850s hotel/pub owner:

Nothing much to report, few pieces of semi interesting junk, part of an old door or gate - D buckle.

Pretty slim pickings, scrub was pretty thick in places...

Had abit of a funny moment, got the old double beep from the nox knew I had a surface find. Looked down, small silver coin with what looked like King George... On closer inspection, it was bloody Roosevelt... 2014 US Dime :lol:

Until next time

Cheers

I know right, not to mention the part of a bong I found in the middle of the scrub :lol:

Last few hunts have been busts, tonight however Ive just organised 2 permissions for the next two weekends. One a old site with some ruins, and another an old gold mine with ruins also, both mid 1800s

Fingers crossed for some luck :Y:
 
Went out to a few places for hunt #61 today,

First spot, a private permission of a 1910 property was a bust.

Then just drove around looking and trying a few spots with no luck! Finds have been pretty minimal lately, Im just waiting to stumble across a nice honey hole! Itll come!

I did manage to find a 40s-50s bottle dump today though

Found these 4 within 10-15mins but then gave up on digging more because Im not that keen on bottles really, but theyre cool enough! I passed on the details to another forum user here so keen to see what he digs up!

I found this also, shame it wasnt complete:

Got a permission Sunday at an old 1870s goldmine site, fingers crossed :Y:

Cheers

Good day! My detecting pal got a few nice bits too, Britannia penny, 1917 shilling, a massive metal comb and a nice Paris buckle! Got permission to come back some time too!

Cheers
 
Hit a new park after work for hunt #63

Was great to get out at night again, very peaceful

$20.10, junker ring and a little toy plane thing!

Police came by about 2 hours in, hit me with their spotlight and shouted from their car asking what I was doing! To which I replied abit of metal detecting they said okay, good luck and left on their way :lol:
 
At the start of this thread I described how I lost a sixpence... well as it turns out it had made a home for itself amongst my 1c/2c!
Close to 1000 if not more coins in the tub so Im not surprised it found refuge there, it was probably revered as a god amongst mere copper coins :lol:

I had looked in that tub 4-5 times since because I always had a hunch I threw it in when I put the 1c/2c back!

It was well hidden, but Im glad to have it back :lol:
