Ramjet's Garrett At Pro finds

[Wally69]

Yes, I must agree it is a notch down from the hoards of treasure you have been pulling lately but I still look at the results of your off days and think 'what a great haul'

 

[rocketaroo]

Today I had a couple of hours so I went to an old historic site. I wasn't expecting a lot of coins but hoped for some really old stuff. After 1 1/2 hours I had the button in the pic. So I went to a spot that has been good to me before. Take 4 steps from the car and put my coil down to ground balance and boom. Penny

Good spill that one, looks like half a pocket full of change.

Love that grassy photo a lot RJ,.... it speaks volumes !

 

[Goldpick]

What condition are your Brittanias in, worth giving a good clean up or are they a bit corroded?

 

[Ramjet]

I only have a couple of Britannia pennies GP. Only rinse them with water.

Today ended up a good day detecting. It was another slow start. When we stopped for lunch Rocket had a single penny and we both had about $10 in goldies and a handful of BBs. The 2nd location after lunch turned up some pre decimals. I got 2 pennies together then 2 half pennies. A little later I got a sweet little coin spill with the florin, the shilling, 1 threepence and the shotgun shell all together. Must have been an interesting night. 2nd pic is the day's silvers after a wash Sitting in an ashtray I also dug.

 

[rocketaroo]

Florin finger rides again! That ashtray is pretty cool

 

[silver]

Ssssmmmokin,..... RJs on ffffirre.

 

[Goldpick]

You are very consistent on your run of florins, I'd almost be disappointed if you didn't come up with one on every hunt.

Jokes aside, got to love those spills, especially being all silver is a good thing.

I thought I'd just a quick comment here! We've been away on holidays for the last 7 weeks - left SA, up the guts to Alice Springs [stayed 2 days] on to Katherine [stayed another 2 days] then onto Adelaide River [another couple of days] into Darwin where we stayed 2 weeks. Left Darwin for Kakadu [2 weeks there] then down to 3 ways and across to Mt Isa where we turned left and headed to Normanton. Across to Mareeba, then in to Cairns. Having a great time and along the way - and here's the point of the post - I have been having a swing in the caravan parks. To date I have half filled a Peanut Paste jar with 1c and 2c coins along with 1 & 2 Dollars coins. As I said been away for 7 weeks and so far all the washing my wife has done has been paid for courtesy of the dropped coins in parks. [I think to date I have found about $80 and there will still be more to come.]When we are home I'll post the result.

 

[Ramjet]

Halfway through the year so I had a look at my totals. 1181 coins and 546 are 1 and 2 cent pieces. Almost half.

 

[Ramjet]

An hour or so this arvo produced a few $$ and another silver ring.

 

[rocketaroo]

Nice Rod

 

[Tassie Daz]

Sometimes fellas, its not the stuff you find but the people you meet while out having a swing. I'm on holidays up in Cairns and theres this park across the road so I thought, well why not. I had been swinging for about 20mins and this nice old guy from some units next door came over and wanted to talk. "Watcha doing" he asked. "Detecting mate" I said. I showed him how the detector gives me a number representing a target type, the depth, the possible target, etc etc. and he was blown away. "Always wanted to get one of them" he said, so he watched as I swung and was intrigued. I had just dug a 2c piece so I gave it to him to take away.......... I had to go, and he did too, so we parted but as he left he said he'd have to get one and have a try around the place. Maybe another propective member for the forum!
O, BTW, I broke the duck with my first ring in that park - only a junky thing but a ring none the less. Maybe things will turn around in that area.

 

[Ramjet]

Mrs Ramjet reckons the tiny stones in the ring are diamonds.

Daz I totally agree. I enjoy talking to the people who come up to me while detecting. Toady a gent stopped to ask a few questions then went into a nearby business. By the time he came back past me I had found the silver ring and showed it to him.

Had 8 kids following me around last weekend, everytime I dug a hole, they would pounce upon me. Was a little annoying, as they were trying to get their hands close to hole, and when a goldie popped, they asked for it. I mustave found about 8 goldies with them, but it eventually gave me the *****, so I packed it in. On the way out, one little guy told me, that I was awesome. The week before I had a group of kids following me around, but they were much quieter. Most of them had never seen 2s, or 1s so I gave them some. Should be young detectorists clubs, kids less sporty could do it as a sport, instead of playing video games all the time.

 

[Ramjet]

Just an hour today in a small spot with very low trash. I dug all the low tone targets I usually ignore. That's why I got the 5 and 10 cent pieces.
I would have won the Easter egg hunt too. There was a 5th but it was busted open so I ate it.
