That nearly $100.00 in the last 2 hunts :p but who's counting :Y:

What is that monster 17" coil hanging off besides you 8)

Thanks :)
 
Goldies and florins, doesn't get any better than that! How was the florin positioned in the hole, on edge or was it simply a deep faint target? :)

Not too sure GP as it came out in a scoop of dirt, it was quite deep though. I reckon I might have discounted it previously as a BB as I have swung over that spot before, I'm getting better at picking the BB's from silver and I had a good feeling this time that it was a silver as the ferrous numbers stayed around 11-13 not jumping up to 17 like a BB would. Still my method is not 100% accurate but it works most of the time and especially well with 2c coins.

I showed Ramjet this methed on the CTX when he and Rocket met me down here a while back, RJ said it's working for him too and can call most BB's before digging them now.

The goldies at this spot replenish quickly too, it's a spot where a local school take the kids to for their lunch and they all sit on the grass there in about a 30m x 30m area, kids really do lose quite a bit of money. :D
 
Slim pickings at Manly beach today, around the Nth Steyne area.... :N:

Stirling steel ring, damned cheapskates. :D

Exactly right mate, should have seen my face screw up when I read stainless steel. Was shaking it in my hand at first and I thought, hmmm too light for gold, doh, too light for silver, then I was like aaaarrrrggghhh noooooo. :D

Oh well hopefully better luck next time.
