Nice work Ben and Mrs BB. Maybe time to get her a detector ?

 

[Bundy Ben]

Thanks fellas.
I actually ask her later if she was keen to have another go sometime, here was half a smile but don't know if it was a "you gotta be kidding" or a "yeah let's do that again" smile.
I guess I will find out over the next few days, see if her arm is sore.. Would make Christmas pressie nice and easy

 

[silver]

Ya gotta ease her onto it BB,... otherwise she will end up sore and sorry,..and that'll be the end of it.

Hey Ben maybe you could turn that florin into a ring or a pendant ... That could be a great presy , very personal

Got a picky of his work at all RJ,...and costs etc,... and does he charge a fair price to change that favored find into exquisit jewelery ?

 

[Ramjet]

I know it's $40 for a 50% silver florin ring. I'll get other prices or for those on FB it's Australian Pre Decimal Coin Rings. The 1963 is mine, he finished it today

Is that $40.00 a supply your own coin price ?

 

[Ramjet]

No he supplied the coin. I'll get more prices tomorrow including if you supply the coin. They look nice eh.

You on virgin turf by the look of it

You on virgin turf by the look of it

Pretty much & on private land as well. Unfortunately the place was still there when aluminium cans & ring pulls came into existence... Plenty of practice digging.

 

[Bundy Ben]

That's it... Arms are buggered.
A lot slower day today but my mate came up with a nice shilling.
Still, one half penny and just enough coins popping out to keep you going for another half hour.

 

[Bundy Ben]

On a 10 day straight roster, yuck!! But the bright side is I get to finish at 4pm. Just gives me about an hour and a half before dark.
Went and sample another strip of land and just walked in a straight line till dark. Plenty of Virgin country trash finds but also came across 7 coins for the session.
Certainly brightened up what was an ordinary day.
Plenty of lead nuggets, must have been old roof flashing or something... At least it was a bit different to lead heads for a change.

 

[silver]

I thought you had a ring there for a moment BB.

 

[Bundy Ben]

Nah Siver, it's chrome plated, concave and bottom is larger than the top. Might have been like an old dress piece for a tap base or something.
