It deserves to be mounted, and hung in pride of place.

It sure is fatigued mate, dodgy switch though I'm sure.
Got out for a couple of hours this arvo, pretty slim pickings though for quite a lot of junk targets. Got 2 junk rings, thought the first was a little rose gold ring but it's not, it's light as a feather, the second is one of those resin coated Tungsten junkers, thought is was silver or platinum when still dirty from the weight until I wiped it clean and there was no hallmark. 1951 Three Pence was the highlight of the afternoon.

Well might have to get wally and yourself out for a final swing with it before you get rid of it 
Only a quick swing this morning, got a few bucks, a bunch of BB's and a 1934 Halfpenny. Then 300 screaming kids turned up for Friday sport and that was my cue again to do the bolt as about 50 of them were running in my direction screaming "METAL DETECTOR", I ran faster than they did in the opposite direction back to the sanctuary of my car........ Foiled by Friday sports again, will get out earlier next Friday.....

Nothing like a bunch of screaming to get you moving on, still an older HP was worth the effort.

Infinium should find the silver pre decs if they are there, are you hunting old sites?
the park i think will be a good spot is surrounded by houses and a large building complex, it used to be a very important part of the area and has a really long history, i just cant tune out emi for the life of me

Sometimes dropping sensitivity way down might help Jamie.
Bit of a swing this morning, 3 Pennies a Half Penny and a Sterling ring. Few bucks towards a new detector also.....

Like the design of that ring

Unusual ring design, seems you have moved up to House Captain Heatho!
Cheers GP, glad someone "recognises my authority", lol. With Eric Cartman style voice.
Couple of hours at the park this arvo.
Got a quick hour in this morning before it started raining, this was the second target...... Pretty stoked, the Aldi has been doing quite nicely of late.
