A day off had me headed back to the same site as previous, in search of more Victorian era coins and relics. Did quite well with a Victorian penny and two hp's, with the youngest being 1881 and oldest 1862. Was very happy to see another dog tag of decent age, dating from 1894-1895 and in...

Today was meant to be all about finding a house site, instead I came up empty handed and decided to have a go at an old factory site dating back to the mid 1800's. I hadn't been back to this site for about four years and that was then using the Explorer SE Pro, so I thought it would be...

Well done on the cricket buckle and silvers, wish we'd see more of those buckles over here in SA. :perfect:

Someone has been real busy, congrats on the 1925 penny and jewellery finds! :Y:

Back to the same spot from where the toy gun and shilling originated today. It was hard going with lots of junk targets excavated, though Mrs Goldpick and I did manage a few items of interest, including her first predecimal coin using the Nokta Makro Simplex+ (1943 penny). As per usual most of...

I reckon probably more like a 150 year old pocket knife, pretty awesome that it even lasted that long. Sadly the ring is a bit small for my pudgy fingers, though I realised going back through my finds that it is very similar in design and age to another horse shoe silver ring I found a year or...

Looks like I've screwed up the timeline on a couple of the earlier hunts from Jan to early March, anyway here is the combined results from a couple of outings! :argh: The dog tag is from 1916-17, and the Military button I thinks is an English general service item. I did find another religious...

Late March I had another go over an early 1900's row of houses which I had detected previously, still coming up with some good targets amongst the iron and housing junk. Might seem like there are still plenty of good targets, though you do really have to work for them and not all are obvious...

Next up is a detect of a vacant block we had permission to detect before it was going to be built on. Most coins were quite shallow considering some of the topsoil had already been excavated, not a bad coin count from such a small area, and only one silver between us. The religeous pendant has...

So here is the hunt from today, I spent a couple of hours scouting a previously detected site with new information on some houses that were previously overlooked (dated back to early 1900's). Didn't get far from the car before finding three Commonwealth coppers, with the 1923 penny being in...

Has been a looong time since I've posted anything, but don't despair, I have been out and about keeping busy. Over the weekend I headed out to a usual mid 1800's haunt with a friend who is learning his Deus (normally a CTX user), we both had a bit of luck though it did seem most targets were...

Wow, that's what I call a good day out on the silvers, the Gothic florin looks like it was a fresh drop back in the day.

Cool button Silver, might be dating back to the mid 1800's! :perfect:

Love that half crown, awesome stuff! :trophy:

Yep, the older florins are becoming a lot rarer these days, that's a nice example. :Y:

Happy Birthday mate, hope you had a good week (probably yes going by your finds). :cake:

Finding some good older gear from the Clare region, 1849 is getting back there. Nice 1890-1891 doggie tag too. That decorative piece might be hair related, should clean up well. :Y:

Still after any coin/token from 1850, just be someone out there?? :|

Makes our Georgian era coins seem almost modern in comparison to your finds, thanks for sharing such old finds. :Y:

Still coming up with plenty of goodies, I like the ring with the green stone. Shame about the Nox flooding, seems to be an all too common issue - thank good for warranty.
