Visited 4 parks around Darwin mostly under shady trees and near seats and found $93.15 in coins.
I only dig good solid targets because these areas are quite trashy.
Mindil beach has eroded badly in the past two weeks with up to two meters being washed away from storms and big tides. I walked along the high tide mark for half an hour and found about ten bucks but most of the coins had been there a long time. Included were 1&2c pieces which is a rare find for me.
New items for my bucket list included lipstick and glasses but I found a really unusual item that I cant id yet.
I will post pictures when I get it cleaned up.

Excellent finds! Thanks for sharing. :D

Posts like these are inspiring me to have a go at this coin shooting game.

I'm going to try & go check out a park this arvo.
Had a detector for about a year now but never really used it.

An old dinosaur...

Whites Coinmaster 6000D
I think it's from the early to mid 1980's.

I've played around in the back yard with it & seems to make the right noises when passing it over nails, coins, gold etc. :cool:
 
Great finds mate, I didn't find much last night as I'm still getting used to my cheapie detector and basically dig every signal, seriously looking at the x-terra 705 as my next one!
 
705 is the go.
If you have the time and enthusiasm you will pay it off with finds in no time.
Ive had mie for 6 weeks and now all my finds are profit.

Take my advice though and get yourself a minelab pin pointer at the same time. You wont regret it.
 
I just bought a MXT I can't tell you now it finds bottle tops I beat my personal best a few weekends ago
