Today we headed off to the local markets, followed by the daily walking of the dogs, and decided to spend the rest of the afternoon at the regular Victorian coin location.
First good target of the day was the front half of a nicely patterned silver locket, not much more followed for the next hour other than some shotty shells and splattered lead.
Mrs Goldpick was wandering off to another location with her G2 , and started to pick up on some bullets and projectiles before calling it a day - off to read the paper/lunch. Interested that she was getting some good targets, I headed over to where she had previously been (I hadn't detected this spot before), and upon gridding the area, an 1890 Vic penny nearly blew my ears off. What a good sign, and a very shallow coin as well, things were looking promising.
On my first grid line I got another hightone (82), and unearthed an 1862 Vic threepence, followed by a few cartridges and small braces buckle. Several lines later, a high tone 86 and an 1864 Vic sixpence was in the bag. Other targets included a trio of buttons, and the odd lead nail head.
So far I've only gridded 10x20m, so I am expecting good things to come from this area, especially with shallow targets and silvers still lying around.
