Sure is mate, wish I could find the other half of the Locket, now having that restored would be an awesome treat, that is if anyone wants to tackle repairing it.

Anyway I had a pretty good 1 hour and a half even though it started raining, found some pre-d's, silvers, relics, brownies, goldies/spendable coins.

Twas slim pickings last night but I wasn't into it as much as I would have liked to be. I was reminded of the Old Fella ('Michael') because when I got down there and started digging a target which happened to be a brownie the lady with her husband across the road came trotting over with some sort of urgency then stopped short of 5 metres from me.
They looked puzzled and went back up their driveway only to return and call out ('Michael', 'Michael'.) Well I looked up and said sorry I haven't seen him tonight and they went back indoors with heads down, they had a worried look on their faces.
I kept swinging picking out targets mostly trash and could see them every 15 minutes coming out on the balcony to check if Michael was around.
I ended the night by swinging over a nice looking thimble and thought wow awesome but when I got it home and rinsed it under water then started rubbing it - it crumbled into dust and so it went in the bin.
The last thing I did before leaving was walking down to where 'Michael' stays to check if he was there but he wasn't around, all of the cats that stay there were watching me closely up in the trees, glowing eyes all around me almost as if protecting the place.
I had a few little tears in my eyes as I left.
So I found a Silver which was good because I thought to myself gee every other night there were more easier ones to be gotten, very happy all the same.
1938 Roo
1942 Roo Half which was only 2 inches deep
1952 RAM....This will clean up nicely.
I noticed when I cleaned the Rams and the Florin that a Copper Tone is partially covering some of them does anyone know why?
I used the Salt, Baking Soda, Foil and Hot water treatment.
Cheers GDA.

Just catching up on all the great hunting you have had GDA , nice story about the homeless man mate :Y: . I hope he is alright . There are homeless where I go and hunt . I was lucky I had found enough last year to get 5 swags that convert into tents and are warm and waterproof , through a charity called the order of Malta . They asked if I wanted to go with them and give the swags out , which I did , it was a very humbling and rewarding experience :Y:. I'm glad you went to check on Michael , even though he was not there , he might be tonight :Y:

Mate you're a legend, at the moment really all I can do is cook him a meal now and again and share it with him, sometimes the best thing we can do is just talk to them, that is if they want to talk.
Cheers mate for sharing that it made my day. :Y:

Managed a 5 minute swing in the backyard and got a screaming signal. Very surprised and also very happy.

Haha that's awesome. Much better than anything I've ever found in mine despite moving a couple times.

I bet it is not the last time you have a 5 minute swing in your backyard :Y:
Lawn is so overgrown there are a lot of signals but I am only pulling out the loud signals for now on max sensitivity.
Have some other finds I need to take pictures of when I get the chance.

Thats a ripper :Y:
