Looks like you got your "Pound" of flesh Heatho!

Certainly did. They give a great signal too.

Still not a bad ring, despite not being gold. Still counts as a silver.

Cheers GP, it looks very nice, made my day actually, especially after stepping in dog crap. My earlier comments were meant to be a bit tongue in cheek.

Quick hunt today, only about 40 mins. Still hungover from Saturday night/Sunday mornings drinking session with some mates. Detecting in the sun brought it all back again. Even a sixpence didn't make feel any better. Straight and narrow something something, gotta look that up sometime, I know there is something to it that eludes me......

 

[rocketaroo]

thats one reason I gave up drinking, feeling crap for a day or two isnt worth it.

With all the silver jewellery showing up lately I think the gold soon follow

 

[Heatho]

100% agree Rocket. I very rarely party like that anymore but yeah sometimes it gets a bit messy. Live and learn......

I sure hope so, even an ounce of gold wouldn't have helped me today though. Whether it's you or me that finds it, either way I'll be happy.

Turned up to the old honey hole vtoday and there was kids sports right on the spot I was doing so I hit another area of the same park.

Scored a bit over $20, an American 1972 half dollar which is not silver, I thought it was at first, oh well. Then got another zodiac pendant, have found quite a few here, must be the fourth or firth one of them. Also scored a 1931 shilling. All in all a decent hunt for about 3 hours.

Nice hunt, hopefully those loose pocketed kids are throwing more golden confetti around for you

Damn I hope so, lol. Wish their parents would give them gold rings and sovereigns to play with while at sports.

I like your half dollar, even if it isn't silver - something different.

Cheers GP, I was very surprised to find it, it was actually sunbaking, might have been someones lucky coin or something, not sure if it's a recent drop or not as it's a bit dirty.

 

[rocketaroo]

cool to find one, think 1967 was the last, with 40%.

 

[Heatho]

Cheers Rocket, I hadn't looked into that yet, though I knew by 1971 they weren't silver. It gave a very high signal like silver would though. Anyway still a cool find for the treasure chest.

Nice surprise find Heath

Looks like to top edge had a ring soldered onto it - birthdate souvenir perhaps

It does look like it in the photo, but once you have a closer look it'actually looks like a mower strike otr some other type of damage, the coin is actually slightly bent. All the good coins I find have a run in with a mower, just like that mule lol.

 

[Ramjet]

Great diggin Heath.

 

[Heatho]

2 hours out this morning and it was almost a carbon copy of yesterdays hunt, $22 each hunt, pretty weird, scored a penny and a 62 sixpence. Sweet.

 

[B5MECH]

Nice alot look like freshies too It's nice when you don't have to dig deep for the goldies :lol:
