Cheers fellas, they cleaned up pretty nice with the Soda Bi Carb method. Might still be another small section of paydirt left to try at this particular site.
lookin like a coin spill there Heatho.
Any coppers in there with them ?
Don't forget to check if they sat that lot down with jewelry(gold) while they were doing something(soo long ago).
It was a little coin spill for sure, once I found it I slowed right down and went over the immediate area very slowly and carefully, no more though in that spot, will try another area there soon. Was with the Aldi too, that little detector really impresses me everytime I use it on grassed areas. These were down about 10-15cm and instantly gave a high tone. 1c and 2c coins give the same signal though, got plenty of those too.
Wow! (1 Shilling, 12 Pence or a Bob), before breakfast good going Heatho, there was a time that would have been a weeks wages. I can't go back that far but I can remember getting (10 Shillings,10 Bob, half a Pound or half a Quid) a week for a lot of part time work as a kid.
