Finding coinballs with the CTX3030

[Heatho]

Bloody nice Shilling in great condition, nice finds.

Would definitely be good to return it silver.

Thanks heaps Goldpick, spoke to my local RSL today but they said they can't do much other than refer me to the national archives in the city. Wonder why it has 1940 on the badge but his enlistment is 1942?

Must of been dropped when new Heatho, cheers

Probably had a big lot made up in preparation for retirees and injured personnel being sent home, so they could wear them proudly and not get slipped a white feather after drinking down the pub(maybe).

 

[Ramjet]

Great finds. Shilling is very nice.

 

[numpty]

looks like it has nice sharp edges.

 

[Coinballs]

Cheers guys, its very nice on both sides. Best one I've found by far. Update on the badge is I've contacted the Maryborough RSL in QLD (Tinana is a suburb of) and they are looking into it for me so I'm waiting for a call back. The old bloke I spoke to seemed good and interested so fingers crossed he can locate the family.

I didn't, I've done the breath test and they didn't seem to fog up at all but I can't be sure without an eye glass. Usually use my old mans

The public hall came up a treat, doesn't look like anyone has hit that spot before judging by all those tasty silver, well done.

Virgin territory, had to sift though the trash though which was plentiful

 

[Goldpick]

Was definitely worth working through the junk, just need a shiling and florin to complete the set.

 

[silver]

That'd be two small straights 6d down,.. and the rest of the silver to boot.

 

[Coinballs]

Update on the badge is it's on its way to Arthurs grandson in QLD

 

[Ramjet]

Awesome job t returning the badge Coin balls. Great haul of silver in that recent hunt as well.

 

[Paulmarr]

Great story of returning the badge to the family ... Hats off to you!

 

[Coinballs]

Thanks fellas. Hit an old school site yesterday for a bit and got a few keepers

The ground hadn't been that kind to the shilling or the 54 florin so they copped a light bi carb pasting

 

[silver]

Nice amount of silver there Cb.
double florin score.
