Third visit to the old ruins today, this time with Mrs Goldpock in tow to try her luck. She was happy enough to find a 1924 penny and a couple of buttons before being to tired to carry on. I gave her a go on the F75, can't say she liked it much opting to go back to the tried and familiar Teknetics G2.
Ground conditions got pretty horrendous the further we advanced to the North, lots of buried iron junk well and truly masking anything of worth. Still managed a penny on the northern most extremities of the site, so the finds have been dragged a long way from the original ruins.
Did well once again, only two coins including an 1862 Vic penny, and a coin that had me baffled for several minutes turned out to be a US 1880 Indian Head penny (one cent) - a definite first for me.
Yet more dog tags, a lightly scratched larger 1894-1895 tag :/ , though made up for it with another 1886-87 & a 1901-02 tag.
Other items include a pair of lead horse legs, two round patterned lead belt buckles, 3 pocket watch bezels, pocket watch winder, pocket knife, 14 buttons, and a cool engraved jewllery piece - not sure whether it is jade that has been engraved with the initials.
More photos will follow with items cleaned, and field shots.
