Ramjet's Garrett At Pro finds

[rocketaroo]

What is that little coke vial used for? Hard work, but you had a better day than me!

 

[Ramjet]

Missus says a lip balm tube Rocker. If only all the bbs were pre decs......

Forgot to mention that I followed the worst type of detectorist. Not only made a mess but left all the trash in the holes. Asshole!

Don't ya just hate how they do that,... or they just throw it all at the base of a tree for someone else to pick up and dispose of for them.

That pin is a great find Ramjet, any idea on the age, WW2 era?

 

[Ramjet]

Thanks GP. Only did a quick search so far. It seems there were quite a few "comforts funds" I'll post when I find out more. Find of the day for sure.

Well here is today's gifts from the detecting gods. As well as the spoon, I got a 1921 sixpence and some pennies.
The spoon is an ATLAS made by AP & Co Ltd. That's all I got so far. Looks an old design. The ground was so bloody hard. Took me at least 15 minutes to dig the spoon out.
The small piece with the gears and other little pieces I think is the wheel to wind up the wick in a lamp. The small bits of copper are paper thin. There was a little more of it in the hole but nothing else.

Today's lesson: You really do need to cover the area properly. The pliers, which were on the surface and the Fishing sinker, which was not, were found under a tree less than 2 metres from where I got a 3 silver coin spill on a previous visit. How did I miss them? Specially the pliers on the surface. :8

Excellent finds there Rod!

 

[Ramjet]

Thanks Jacob. Was hard digging but I enjoyed the day. Had to get the pick out today!

 

[Havinago]

That six pence is nice and worn , almost a 1930

 

[Ramjet]

My first Chinese coin today.
It was hot but worth it. I found some virgin ground but I only did about 1/4 of it. Working under the trees because it was too hot out in the sun. I hit 5 or 6 spots today but most came from this 1 spot which gave up all the silver bar 1 thrip plus the clock mechanism key and some of the other relics. The silver locket was in the same hole as the Chinese coin. A few silvers, a nice 1891 Brit penny and a trickle of pocket money coming in made for a good result.

Edit: Thanks to LonelySilver we can date the Chinese coin to 1821-1850.

Awesome hunt Rod, bit of everything there. That coin looks like it's from the reign of Emperor Nasi Goreng.
