Very true mate. Nah haven't binned any for a while now, nothing wrong with a bit of dumpster diving for silver coins.

Amazing how long you can make a hunt last just for the one silver coin before going home, even if it means sweaty underwear.

Was horribly sweaty mate, felt like I was melting, that 1 Shilling made it worthwhile though.
Rocket, yes very shiny after a CAB, best silver cleaning method I reckon as it was filthy before it.
Silver, yeah one silver is good silver, any at all makes me happy.
You are going to have to drag that ctx around the goldfields Heatho, you're getting some good hours up on it.
Plenty of treasure yet to be discovered out there.

I am very interested in doing that Reeko, will probably buy a 10x5 Coiltek coil for it though as the 11 inch coil would not handle the rough ground I reckon, would be shredded in no time.
It does ping SDC sized nugs but they have to be very close to the coil. Would be perfect for the Iron junk filled spots.
Got about 40 mins detecting time this morning before it started to rain, ended up detecting a spot I've done before and started gridding from a different angle, must have just missed these 2 silvers previously.

A florin will do for the day, great work Heatho! The value of gridding from multiple directions proves itself again.
Sure does mate, can be easy to extend your swing a bit far sometimes and not overlap swings correctly, gridding from another direction closes the gaps right down. Still a bit more to do there so hopefully a few more silvers pop up.

Are you finding many of the florins sitting on edge, or are they usually sitting reasonably flat in the hole?

Yesterday's coins after a CAB. No worries Silver will start putting my cleaned coins in your silver thread.
Dunno about die crack Silver, do you think it is? I thought I scratched it but it almost seems I couldn't have done that much damage to it.....
Anyway here's a close up mate, die crack or over enthusiastic retrieval?

Its like a hair was on the dye when it was pressed or something hey. Nice swingin work again Heatho
That gouge out of the top before the line is pretty deep, would be hard to accidentally scratch that out of it, could have been something on the die when it was stuck, hmmmm. Thanks mate.
