[rocketaroo]

Same spot 2hrs slow griding, getting results

 

[Ramjet]

Great hunt there Rocket. Slow n steady does the trick.

 

[silver]

Excellent result RKT 3 beauties in amongst it all ,... lotta mystery surrounding the rest of them though, any gems in the rough hidden in the flotsam ? 8)

 

[rocketaroo]

2 brittania half pennies, dates unknown, but they seem to be 1880s to 90s in this area.

 

[Goldpick]

Good score on the florin and other silvers, such a pity the brittanias are so cooked up, must be the ground from hell for coinage.

 

[rocketaroo]

sure is

 

[Heatho]

Nice results Rocket, slow gridding is the only way. It's good, makes a productive site last longer.

 

[pprogers]

Don't know why but Brits seem to be all or nothing where I am...either surprisingly good or a bumpy mess. Sometimes one side is nice and the other is gone. I suppose they've been in the ground for 100yrs plus....

I read somewhere that some fertilisers really mess coins up. Guess it depends on who is spreading what.

The best quality coins I have found come from out in the bush rather than the parks, although nothing beats the beach for baking up coins.

Nice swinging Rocket BTW.

All around Newy and the lower Hunter has coal, slag etc in lots of places. Coins don't do welL if you are in one of those spots.

Finished griding patch 1. Found 2 half pennies, and BBs.
This evil little guy showed-up!

Then a marked 925 Silver bracelet.

Notice the most rotten coin that I have ever found, a half penny.

 

[Ramjet]

Evil hunting good consistent results each day Rocket.

Nice hunting again roo, silver chain is a nice one and complete? I think your lil guy there has a bit more than a demon story to him, is that some text along the bottom? Looks kind of goblin-ish.. hoodoo black magix?

The bracelet is complete, broken clasp. Its grass along the bottom of the gargoyles base, he is prob lead....must be old, using lead as a pendant.

 

[silver]

Bad boy pulls evil find ! 8)

 

[rocketaroo]

He isnt lead, maybe copper, or bronze, has a makers name, and other stuff stamped into the base. LANESBEND? I am searching google.

no luck, maybe I need some brasso to get him cleaner. Anyway, he seems to be a very good find

 

[Goldpick]

Killing it Rocket, I'd say the pendant is a brass Cornish Pixie good luck charm, possibly from between 1930-40, maybe earlier. Pixie is actually pronounced Piskie on the pendant. Door knockers and paperweights also came with the same figure integrated into them.

GP the ultimate researcher does it again
