More nice finds Cheese,... I like the printing plate,... nice to read snippets from out of the ground.

I have started casting wax figurines from the original cast,
my first go at casting.
I will use the copper I find for the casts I will soon make a furnace for melting the copper.
I found today 3 coins,
I have just about polished me patch, dam as it was fun detecting that paddock.

 

[Ramjet]

Some great finds there Cheese. Love the wax figures. Is the original lead? I have a couple of lead babies. Not as nice as that one.

Hi
I think it is pewter.
The plough has taken the side of the little girl
so I used some plaster for a fix,
and yes she is so nice I will cast her.

Nice old sixpence Cheese, picked up one myself today after some exhaustive gridding.

 

[silver]

Looking forward to seeing a copper one cast from one of those wax ones Cheese(good thinking).
Lets hope there are still a few good bits there in your patch yet(I'm sure we all do).

Lot of History in those pic's mate. I really enjoy picturing the date / time events around the items found.

[rocketaroo]

it doesnt get any better, oneday such a site shall come my way

edit: and that's my 2000th post, a wish to find a site, with as much awesome relics, as in this fine thread

Would be good to see you pull an Adelaide Pound Cheese,... beautiful finds.

I have not found a gold coin as yet but I am trying hard for one.
But I did get these two, Its not far to my detecting
spot its just around the corner.

 

[Goldpick]

Doesn't appear to be one of the rarer ones, though still a very nice coin ("9" die number above date). 1893 Jubilee head sixpence is the one to look out for, even for well circulated coins, plus 1854.

Very nice token/medallion on the previous post, always nice to have some info available on a find to allow some further research.

Also not very often you see intact fob watches come out of the ground, is it a silver case?

 

[Cheese]

Yes the fob is silver.
The 1915 is a good coin,
After detecting heaps of the same area, and then they
pop out,amazing, and I am using the same settings.
Just goes to show how much I have been missing.

 

[Amachris]

Fantastic finds
Well done and keep up the great work

 

[silver]

Nice to be able to see the face of a fob watch come up still readable Cheese,... nice 1915 too.

Went out today for a swing,

Some nice finds there Cheese,....Jewelery looks good,... what dates on the two older Sixpences ? 1910 is a fine looking specimen.
