Well if i didnt have a mate with me no one would believe me but this 100x100meter patch of grass held a grand total of $98.20 in spendable coins and a couple buttons! I recon there are a few more here too!
While detecting the same oval area i found a 1940's rubbish pit that im yet to dig.A live .22 bullet and ended up with 3 half pennies 1949 1951 and a 1948 just under the suface. Also some coal from the old steam trains image by Marc Russo, on Flickr
