Off again to some old coin/relic sites today with the Deus and Sheryl's AT Pro in tow, and when we arrived it was obvious that others had also previously visited them, though as they say, you never get it all.
First site had no obvious evidence of previous occupation, just a lot of buried junk and iron of various descriptions. The of rule of thumb on many of thes old sites with minimal modern junk, is to dig most if not all good non-ferrous targets. You simply cannot presume what those items may be via target ID's, and good relics can fall all over the conductivity scale.
The first target was a brilliant condition E.Way Draper Token from Pitt St in Sydney, I was extremely happy with that find being my second ever token. The first coin for the outing was an 1874 Victorian half penny, followed by an 1879 Vic half penny. There were many buttons on the site as well, with most labelled as J.Whitefield, Mount Gambier, a Taylor and Clothier dating back to 1890.
The remainder of a decorative clay pipe resided in the same hole as a large dome button, and what appeared to be the frame of a purse came out of a hole in pieces. Realising it was a purse, I frantically searched the hole for spilt coins, though not so lucky on this occasion.
We later switched to a more modern site from the mid 1900's, unfortunately we didn't have enough time to fully explore the site to locate anything of real worth.
Yet another great hunt with Sheryl, and I am very much looking forward to our next site in mind for next week.
