Ramjet's Garrett At Pro finds

[Ramjet]

Thanks for the congrats everyone. It really was a top day. Today we took 2 grand kids back to their parents. Of course the detector was in the car. While mum and daughter congratulated each other on a fine wedding I snuck in a quick hunt

My first Australian armed forces badge and a "42 thrip eye the highlights. The bent roo penny was partly exposed. Too many BBs tho :|

my fav buttons welldone!

 

[Goldpick]

BB's can be a good thing, at least you know the area has most likely not been detected previously, though it does waste a bit of time recovering all of them.

 

[Ramjet]

Agreed GP. A good sign it's virgin territory.

 

[Heatho]

Nice hunt there Rod, well done on the badge.

Stopped on my way home from night shift for a quick swing in a playground. I'd been there maybe half an hour and had moved out of the play area to see if any pre decs would show up. A council worker came over and asked if I had found a gold ring. Apparently a lady had lost one a couple of weeks ago and had gone to the council general manager and he got the ground staff to rake through the bark to try find it. No luck. So I went back to the area and spent over an hour digging every signal I could detect. Even when I get the location of a ring I still can't find it. 8.( 8.( It may be like a lot of others and not where she thought she'd lost it. I'll have to see if the Ringmaster, Rocket is interested in having a look.

Anywho here are my finds. All the small bits of foil I dug looking for the ring. Nothing too exciting but the New Guinea coin is another new foreign coin for me.

yes those elusive lost rings, i feel your pain not finding it mate, but you had a shot at it and that is what counts so well done and good on you mate hope you get rewarded with a stash of lost gold sovereigns for your efforts

 

[Brian]

man are you going to be annoyed when you see my latest results..

 

[rocketaroo]

better luck for today

I never get annoyed by what other people find. That would be a waste. Part of the fun of the hobby is never knowing what will pop out of the ground.

Out with Rocket again. Firstly I apologize to Silver for destroying one of his beautiful coins. Sorry. I scratched about 6 coins today so the lesson is when digging really deep targets start with a wider hole.

First 3 pics are from site one which we had high hopes for but was just full of modern trash. 2 hours and not 1 pre decimal. The only interesting find is the ID tag. I think maybe it's military?

The 2nd spot had a much better treasure to trash ratio. Almost every coin was 6+ inches deep. 1 nice thrip and a couple of florins to top off a steady flow of pennies. I got a penny and 2 half pennies in a mini spill and Rocket got 3 pennies in his little coin spill.

Yep its a military I.D tag looks like from the number issued some time in the 70-80s

 

[rocketaroo]

gotta love a honey hole Dont worry Silver, I really took RJ to task, over wrecking a lovely, nearly 100 year old florin, that had sat safe for many decades, until it was snatched, by a very careless Florin Finger! lol We dug deep today, and were well rewarded

It's all good. I got plenty more Maybe the swinelab doesn't detect florins?

gday Ramjet
My mistake his 237038 serial number would place him joining some time in the late 70s at a guess.
He could have been an Infantryman, if you were serching around the Singlton area, as that is the location of the School of Infantry.
Mind you he could have been a cook , a medic , a signal operator etc
Not much else to go on but whats contained on the tag.
Name:Muller V
Religion:Roman Catholic
Blood type: O positive
