Out 'n' About With The CTX3030

[Heatho]

Great hunting Sandta, certainly shows some good potential there.

A short hunt closer to home this morning ,before the rain got me

G'Day Sandta,
Nice collection of pre decimal coins and old toys, the rain put an end to my early morning action too, bugger.

[Sandta]

Have had a go at cleaning off some of the crust from the other side of yesterdays find
Been using a toothpick.

GP suggested it could be George 3rd
This is as close as i could find . Practically the same condition too :lol:

Pretty happy if it is ...1805

 

[Sandta]

Sticking with the theme of revisiting sites ... I decided to do the same this arvo
Im sure you can guess where i went :lol:

Surely there cant be too many of those bloody things left
The brooch is just junk.
Low ,slow and perseverance paid off

This one is in pretty good nick

8) I dreamt I found one of those last night :lol: It wasn't as nice as that one

 

[Heatho]

Very nice hunt Sandta, low and slow brings home the bacon.

 

[Goldpick]

Nice collection of silvers Sandta (and those nasty rivet things), I suspected your other coin was a George III, the obverse pretty much confirms it - on ya.

 

[Sandta]

I had an unexpected day off today, so headed back to the old farm i visited last friday
It was pretty easy to find where i left off, as there was a sheet of corregated iron there
I CAREFULLY (for fear of snakes)moved the sheet of iron , and started swinging.... BAM ...
First target ... Coin...

Another 1805 George III penny
Second coin about 10 feet away

1826 George IV penny
Not sure if this is a stop watch or fob watch ?

Nice old button... pretty sure we have had one the same on here before

And an assortment of pennies

A few buckles and bullets

Got a surprise with the tap fitting
Tried to push the dirt out with my digger , but it was solid ...
Theres a penny inside it :lol:

Not sure what this thing is , but its a bloody good chunk of brass

 

[Ramjet]

Onto some early stuff there Sandta.

 

[rocketaroo]

just awesome to dig early stuff, should be a fob watch....waiting for the gothic silver to appear!

 

[B5MECH]

The old hidden penny in the tap handle trick aye :lol: the big chunk might be a clamping mount for some tool
the decorated metal piece looks interesting, a lot of top finds there top work

 

[SinHof]

Neat finds Sandta.
SinHof.

 

[Sandta]

....waiting for the gothic silver to appear!

I sure hope it happens one day

 

[ColinD]

First coin looks like it has the Cartwheel penny big rim

 

[Sandta]

Same era coin
When you look at what it used to look like ... Its not really

 

[B5MECH]

Nice id work

 

[AtomRat]

Lovely finds sandta, I can't believe you spotted the penny in the cap thing hahaha
Brass bit has got me stumped too, awesome watch - looks very similar to the shape of the one I found

 

[Goldpick]

Some wonderful old coins there Sandta, the thickness of the first coin should be a giveaway on whether it is an 1805 or earlier cartwheel type (say a 1797 two pence).

Can I come and detect your site.

 

[ColinD]

Yeah I want to come and detect that site too 8)
If memory serves the cartwheel penny weighs an ounce and the 2p is 2 ounces so probably is a later penny right enough if it's lighter

edit: Forgot to add the link to the button, fantastic find
