Did some detecting at a real old sporting field in Tickera, South Australia. Found the normal stuff, horse shoes, buttons etc. Detected the whole field and surroundings and came up with no coin.

The best find was the below metal tag:

There seems to be a decent story behind the name J. Kinnear, he was a local farmer.

Must have been hard times out there 100 years ago in the middle of no where 8.(

Went for a swing today (yes at 5:30am) and came home with:

2x $2 coins
7x $1 coins
2x 10c
1x 50c
4x 20c

Not a bad coin collection for 1hr 40mins on a rivers edge.

But the item that has me stumped the most is pictured below, about the size of a 5c coin.

Ive found one of those copper ring things exactly the same as yours, mine has some black paint on it, I dont think its a jewelry ring but something else, not sure what it is.

These are some finds from an old park in an area between Arthurton and Ardrossan in SA. Detected the whole park and found jack all. I was hoping to find a few more coins but no luck, only coin I found was about 5 meters from the old cricket pitch.

Heaps of junk and left over remnants were dug up, but nothing worth keeping. Tent pegs etc...

1. 1945 Penny (was about 15cm deep)
2. Part of a padlock
3. hole punch

I think it come up copper on my id from memory, mines a bit crusty with some black paint on it, it looks copper coated but if you scratch it, it looks like aluminium

 

[Martin]

Spot on the same as mine but yours looks a bit flatter. I'll check the material content tomorrow when I find it.

A cheap cigar ring gauge maybe? slide it off throw it away and light your cigar?

Mine is stainless steel going by a jewelry collector.

 

[silver]

Maybe it stops the cigar from feathering out at the end as its burning down, just slide it along as it burns away ....... yuck :/ :lol:

Looks like a bottle opener ring.

 

[Kai]

Looks similar but no way could you open a bottle with mine, it broke easily and is brittle, had to glue it back together, another mystery for the list.

Same, way too small.

[silver]

Big difference in the spoons there Martin, is that nice looking one solid silver.... ?
:Y: :Y:

 

[Martin]

Yeah all spoons were silver, uncle got a few also that were just on the surface.

 

[silver]

Looks like a site with a lot of potential, maybe head out wider towards the nearest shady trees and keep n eye out for any surface glass n stuff to help lead your directions as well. :Y:

 

[Martin]

The property has heaps of potential. The owner has been finding heaps of coins and stuff kicked up from his horses for years.

There's no trees, they are long gone. Just walking around there's heaps of stuff on the surface like bolts, screws, spoons, black, purple and blue glass.

Some nice malachite (ruined by weather) on the surface near the mine, so we will be digging through the mounds also.
