[rocketaroo]

Good to see the pill/snuff box still intact, nice find. Pity they didn't see fit to hide a couple of sovereigns in there.

first thing I did was give it a little shake

Aarh ... Was wondering what i was reading about :lol:

 

[Bundy Ben]

Hahaha.
7 days at the patch and haven't even scratched it yet.... Bugger me, it's going to take a year or so!!!
87 coins for the week and I had to work till 4pm today, that would be my PB week.

Today's goodies.

You could do a whole finds total photo when you clean it out BB.

 

[Bundy Ben]

Silver, that's iis going to be a long way off but intend to do something like that. Found another old photo of the place & I swear it will take a year or 2. The site has given 114 coins in 3 weeks, the grand tally at the end could be huge!!!
Another 8 today but I might wait until the end of the week & just do a one shot.

On another note. The coiltek 15" 18.75 is going pretty good. Obviously it's struggles in the really trashy areas but there has only been 2 areas that I will have to do over with the smaller coil. I find that even working the same place everyday, retune & rebalance is a must with it. Love the ground coverage of it in the quitter areas.
Still wondering if I should own a lower frequency DD... Hmm.

 

[Bundy Ben]

Looks like most of you got out & into some good finds today.
I have done likewise, got out for a few hours this morning & back out with some mates for a sunset hunt. My total for today.... 76 coins. 20 odd pennies from one 50cm patch.
Have been hunting away all week (& off for a run tomorrow as well) so haven't had time to get the good camera out.

Excuse the crappy pic. Some of this weeks coins

Nice rising sun badge too

Yeah, my 1st but it has a part cut off it so not complete. Will definatly get some pics of the "other stuff"
Some cool badges, a lead (I think) soldier, a dram weight etc etc. been an awesome week.

 

[Bundy Ben]

76 coins! Smashed it.

It smashed me too, digging arm is a tad stiff and have a sun glow happening. Not complaining at all though

 

[silver]

What a haul BB,...doing well.

 

[rocketaroo]

as good as it gets

 

[Heatho]

That's an excellent haul, well done!!!

 

[Bundy Ben]

Thanks everyone. Did a count for the seven days. 190 . Best part is only 8 decimal coins in last 3 days.

Anyways...off to some older ground for a look. Hope you all get a chance to get amongst it today.

 

[Goldpick]

Excellent tally for the week, looking forward to some more pics. Funny about not finding many decimal coins, I have the same "problem" in the areas I currently detect - lots of pre-decs, very few spendables. Makes me wonder whether someone else had previously detected the area picking out all the moderns. ?

 

[Bundy Ben]

Ok... Here we go. This week in pics.

Shot & woundeds

Frillies, possums & some of the halfies

[Bundy Ben]

First recky to an old township that has been long gone. Trashy ground but turned up a Brit penny, 1899, 2nd one for me.
Back is in good niece but the front is shot.

 

[Bundy Ben]

Most of the pre-decs for 11 weeks.

Some other bits n pieces. The things between the buckles are porcelain centered fuses. Found at a very old railway station site.
