$2 coin hunt today and 5 rolls had these lovely corroded coins in them, not sure what caused it but pretty lazy from who ever was putting them back into coin rolls. Only a few coloured today, must have been a Wiggles day.

Finally managed my first actual run of colour in the creek the other week. Still got some clean up to do (keeping for rainy weather) but approaching 0.1g and finally going from dust to a few flakes (hey it is Adelaide and a pretty worked section). This was one pan's worth so that was exciting...

Been a while since I have been out. Must have been a jewellery day as I got the necklace and the greek style band in the same day. Another short hunt and the two pennies and half penny. Another 20 minute hunt in a different location between the footpath and the fence produced a 50c, dog name...

A few very short hunts all combined to a few different locations Couple of Brit's 1914, 190? and some roo's Then there was my second silver ever a 5 pence :playful: (at least it was the lawn mower and not me) and a strange bracelet Interesting that the bracelet has pictures of soldiers in...

Couple of hunts rolled together Penny Lane has continued with a penny (or half penny) a visit. Also another location where the buckles, cosmetics containers and NZ coinage came from. Penny Lane had a small Pepper shaker And silver ring 925 and locket marked silver on back. Ring was a nice...

Quick 20 minute hunt at a different location before a doctor's appointment this morning. 2c sunbaker, 10c, then first silver :D 1952 Shilling

So this is the next update. You are right Goldpick, interesting location as now I have had another two searches to the same location but a different segment. I'm going to call this location Penny Lane as each visit has netted a Penny so far. This is everything interesting Found two...

Thanks deepblue and Goldpick. I suspected but wanted to try and present a neutral account and see what the advice was from the more experienced. Good news is still havent finished the site yet. Getting lots of old metal tubes (assume shaving cream or tooth paste) and house keys for some reason...

So same location as the last post but a night hunt turned up a solid 30 signal 3 inches down. Out came a copper 35.9mm diameter, 3.3mm thickness and weighing 26.725grams. Has a nice thick rim around the outside but one side is almost smooth Wasnt really sure what it was so cleaned it up with...
