Went for a walk down to the park a bit before dark and stayed until about 7 pm, I didn't tell the missus and she came looking for me! I had a head torch on so I was easy to find. She walked up behind me and asked "why are you detecting at night, you clown?" I told her I was "keeping the dream alive" her response "you idiot"

A few spendables, nothing fancy. Just the one pre-decimal today. The padlock had me confused, the numbers up around 36-38 and screaming.

That 34 1/2 penny is in great shape.

Glad you enjoyed it :Y:

 

[Goldpick]

Just ignore the missus, she'll get used to it - nothing wrong or unusual about having a detect at night. That's one clean half penny. :Y:

 

[Dave79]

Beautiful half penny mate. I'm jealous, all my copper coins are so corroded that I can only tell what they are from the size.

Been busy prospecting and with family. But managed to squeeze approx. 20 hours so far with the 800.

This is a collection of the better finds. Not too much rubbish either, loving the Equinox, thank you Minelab.

 

[Heatho]

Some nice finds there Rick, well done. :Y:

Thanks Heatho, Would always be good to have more time for everything.

 

[The Scrounger]

Fantastic finds and amount of finds,but I would love more photo's to appreciate you finds even more.

Just saying :Y:

 

[hAyyoUinAU]

Ps. Half of the 2 cent and 1 cent coins have been tumbled, they were not like that when I found them of course. lol

A few spendys from this arvo, but alas a casualty 8.( I really liked that trowel for comfort too, straight handle ones leave me with bruises lol. I had a think of where I got it from thinking I'd just call into Bunnings and grab another....then had a sulk remembering I got it from Masters. I think the earring is just costume jewelry, no markings on it so dunno? Might have to invest in some better diggers, wish the blackADA stuff from the UK was available here.

 

[The Scrounger]

Timely finds for your replacement digger.

Good ones are more than your finds,but purchase what suits.

Top effort :Y:

I have had a look at them mate, and I'm sure they are great quality, I just baulk a bit at the price. Of course, Lesche and Predator all work out the same price or more once postage factors in.

At the same time, I know Bunnings type stuff will keep on breaking and the range is very limited. Was lucky to grab a trowel in that shape to begin with.

Maybe if I start with the Snake and Blade then go from there.

Gives me the shits because I had a UniMig 350 mig/arc/tig welder pinched off me, could be knocking them up myself.

thanks to this forum,i bought a nox 800 on friday, Tamworth store as its close to me, $1115.00.
Took it out today,left it in factory preset, will take a while to learn the
other settings. found an old bus stop that is not used anymore,
small area, started finding things straight away, pretty happy,
only coin was a 1968 5 cents, liked the creaming soda bottle top,
brought back some memories. the 5 cents registered 10 and was
down 150 mil...6 inches. Called in to a farmer friend on the way home,
talked old relics, he said why don't you detect the old coach stop a bit
further down the road,nearly fell of my chair, so when i get some time
i will give it a try. paid to call in and have a chat.happy chappy

I have used this for a while now and it will not break. Perfect tool.

And for areas where you can go deep, this is a standout. Has to come from the US, but well worth the small wait. About 1 week. Tested and proven.

Here is a link to the Piranha Shovel from Predator Tools US.

Hope this helps

There is a guy on here that makes the same or very similar Shovel just cant find the post

 

[hAyyoUinAU]

Yeah, I haven't tested out metals and stuff, but Nugget Noggin has gone through a whole bunch and recommended this one.
Plus the same company makes them for the US army, if that is a plus or a negative. lol

I have seen a few similar too, but decided to go with the trusted and tested one. But those may be just as good or if not better, not sure.

Nothing too exciting today, having crap luck on the pre decimals. Never picked up a $2 NZ coin so that is something I guess.
And yes....I do keep digging 16's, becoming a legitimate 20c coin hunter. I ended up digging up so many cans today that I had the "Pub?, Go on then" moment and called it quits a bit earlier than usual. I hear the tones and see the numbers on cans, but some fool me when they bounce between 21-22. If they jump to 23-24 fair enough but some are very tricky. That $2 AUD was a funny one, was easy 8" down. Deepest one I have resurrected.
Going up to Mt Victoria in the morning and I'll give that park a run, it's pretty old so might have a better chance at pre decimals. Company is definitely welcome if anyone is not busy, its prob a fair hike for even Sydneysiders though, I'll be up there from about 10am-2pm I guess.
