If I could just get under those seats.

I think that I might leave it for a few weeks and then try again with a different plan of attack..

I have a date with a football oval that was used from 1903-1978.

Still in use today but not for NRL games..

I'm sure it's been hit by others before so I think that I will leave the 17" on and go for the deep targets.

Should be fun

I have ear marked 20 parks that I want to hit this year, all pre 1900s so let's hope that there is a sovereign out there.

BTW, has anyone here found a sovereign????
 
G'day All,

Footy Oval Take 1

Went out on Monday for about 4 hours.

$22.30 in spendables

26 predecimals ( 2 silvers)

This was all in an area of about 15 meters by 2 meters.

So far do good, can't wait to go out again tomorrow.

Until next time

Well found DJ,... Nice solid hunt with plenty of good targets, nice looking photos and those two silvers look in good nick, especially the 1943(925) Shilling, that one looks real good.

Ran into a bloke who showed me a nice half sovereign pickup in the last year.
I could tell he had he still had the smile on his face haha. Gave me general area certainly nothing detailed.
Pi pickup so the story went. Still searching though
 
G'day All,

Footy Oval Take 2

Went out again today for about 2 hours.

$44.30 in spendables

20 predecimals ( 2 silvers)

Did another area of about 15 meters by 2 meters.

When I saw that huge silver coin in the hole I thought that I finally got my crown.

But to my disappointment it was only a US dollar.

I would have stayed longer but the groundsman asked me to leave. Apparently an elderly lady threatened to call the police.

I thought about telling him to get stuffed as it's not the first time someone has called the cops for detecting in a park.

Last time the cops weren't too impressed as their time was wasted.

Oh well, there's always next time.

Was digging in a park today, police can drive through it. They rolled-up, asked me if I found any gold. I put them onto a group if kids messing around in the drain. They rounded them up, suffer druggie kids lol

Arent you within your right to be in the park? I didnt think detecting was illegal in parks?

Congrats on the awesome finds. :D
 
Ha ha ha

That's gold.

Only the council ranger can ask you to leave a park if they have proof that you have wilfully damaged it.

As long as you don't leave open holes that pose as a trip hazard, you have nothing to worry about.

Wealthy folk have too much time on their hands.
 
Still on track with the great finds DJ,.. I think those silvers are getting bigger and better.
