Had a day of interesting finds today. A bit slow on the pre decimals but the first was a florin so YAY me.
My first webbing hardware, button and projectiles are my military finds. The button is RAAF but I couldn't see the same one with a quick search. I also found the small pocketknife and cap gun.

 

[Ramjet]

Forgot to add this ring.

 

[treasureman]

Love that ring and the cap gun. Lucky on those finds

 

[rocketaroo]

I have one of those "pirat" cap guns, 80s vintage. Pretty cool relics from that site

 

[silver]

I've never seen a capgun like that one,... ever !

 

[Ramjet]

Had a slow start to the day. I was advised to leave the first location. After a few hours and 3 locations I had $4.04 and a few relics shown in pic 1.
Pic 2 is the first 5 coins I found at my 4th spot. The First coin I get is the shilling, followed soon after by the sixpence. The threepence was sun baking. Just laying in a patch of bare soil. I think I have it and some of the other finds on video.
To top the day off I got the florin a couple of hours later.
in the relics department I got the biggest sinker I have ever seen and a large sheet of lead folded plus some pieces possibly from the renovation of an historic building. Found them right up close to it.

Nice finds, and the usual 1947 florin find of course

 

[Ramjet]

Must be a big mint year. I have 10 this year and 4 are 1947.

 

[Sandta]

Another '47 ?
The trick to finding all those florins Rocket , is to not empty your finds pouch properly.... Recycling (so to speak) :lol:

 

[silver]

Full house day,.. strike that off your Predecimal wish list RJ,... Florin, Shilling, Sixpence, Threepence, Penny and Halfpenny all in the one days hunts.

 

[rocketaroo]

Only 20? Your not tryin Rod ;-)

Actually, I reckon I am due a florin this week!

 

[Ramjet]

I reckon the threepence sun baking was payback for the one I lost last week. I can't believe it was sitting there all this time.

 

[Heatho]

Hey Rod nice finds, why were you advised to leave??

 

[Ramjet]

Only 20? Your not tryin Rod ;-)

Actually, I reckon I am due a florin this week!

Sorry I have ten florins and 4 are 1947. Edited my earlier post.

Heatho an older gentleman came over and told me it's private property and the owners have called police on detectorists. It's all open and I thoughe it was public land. On the way out I saw a sign selling it as blocks of land. Assume that the development company own it.

 

[Heatho]

Ah ok mate no worries, easy mistake to make.

 

[Ramjet]

The sunbaking threepence.

It's amazing to see what coins are still sitting on or very near the surface, maybe it was mistaken for a 5c coin by people walking by. The two silvers I picked up last night were almost sunbakers, literally only a cm or two under the surface. A while back I found a florin sitting on the surface behind a park bench, makes you wonder.

 

[rocketaroo]

Hmmm, maybe I will go pouching, on RJs silver sunbaker site :lol:
