I think I will try 1 of those coils, i like it.

I am very happy with the coil and i am one who will call crap if its needed,
but i do like the coil overall and i am happy with the purchase.

[the duck]

Not bad for an old fella best find of the hunt though see you next week same place

 

[AussieTreasureDigger]

So you will

 

[Rickd]

Nice , I found two in the same hole !! They where in a ditch near a old camp fire just below a ridge , I figured that's where the old timers slept

 

[AussieTreasureDigger]

Its funny where the coins will turn up, i found one yesterday on top a hill where a homestead may have once stood. Its an early Victoria Farthing in very poor condition, i can just make out the head and the neck, its a 18381860, dont know that i will ever get the correct date off it but that will do for now.

It's always nice to find a coin that's 100 years old, but when you find a coin over 150 years in Australia, now that's good!

 

[AussieTreasureDigger]

I was just talking to a mate on the weekend saying i like the Commonwealths as much as the earlier stuff, but the Roo Pennies do nothing for me, although i still dont mind finding them.

Victoria Goldfields finds 13 July 2013
The farthing ends up being?

I found a coin on the goldfields this last weekend and after much macro photography and lots of research i have uncovered a King George IV 1827-1830 Farthing. Found with an AT Pro using a NEL hunter coil, target showed up a solid 80.

 

[the duck]

great find will be hard to beat for a while a golden oldie

 

[AussieTreasureDigger]

As you saw when it came out of the ground, there wasnt much left of it, i originally thought that because of the neck it was an early vicky, turns out the be a later coin.

Going to be hard to beat that date

 

[Scoopa]

That's a great farthing find!

 

[AussieTreasureDigger]

Cheers Scoopa, i like it as well, my oldest finds in 2 consecutive weeks

Thanks mate!!

I think if i have been sitting on a hill for some 186 years and in some of the worst nature can throw at me, i think i might be a bit worn as well

8 hours in a screaming gale, walked over 10k and for what?

If it wasn't for irresponsible dog owners who think its funny that their POS can bowl you over when you up to your shoulder in a hole, then let it crunch your detector then tell you its ok hes only playing? : Hows a sand scoop across its head and a reply i am only playing as well sound?

Other than this happening and others making a B Line to where i was digging (just leave me alone will ya) i was just happy in my own little detecting shell for most of the day. I must get back to the bush next weekend work permitting, no one to annoy me out there.

All in all it was still a good day, every detecting day is a good day, heres what i dug besides a semi load of crap.

Not much in the way of nice stuff

Stinker sinker

Ukraine 25 Kopiyok

End of the day

 

[Ramjet]

I'm with you ATD. Give me peace and quiet, leave me alone to learn about detecting. I don't know enough to answer the barrage questions
Nice collection of sinkers.
