Nugget AND coin

[mozzie1957]

What a morning. 10.2 grams of smile-on-the-dial, AND an 1816 George III something. I think it's a shilling. Can just make out a coat of arms on the back.
And, joy of joys, never touched the nug with the pick.
But buggered for I don't know how long. Jury duty 2morrow. With luck I won't be selected.

Hope you took my advice mozzie and went looking for a bigger jar. Keep this up and I'll send you down a bucket. Well done and hope they keep getting bigger.

Cheers Wal.

Thanks Wal. Be nice to score some more but stoked with what I've got so far this week. Bit over 11 grams and a few neat coins. Oh, and about quarter of a ton of junk.
