1/2 of s clock winder too ,... it's good when the larger finds keep coming up when you thought it may be all done, leaves a lot of scope for more good finds still.
Today Rocket and I moved from spot to spot, trying new ground. At one spot I got the Commy penny and the silver vesta holder. Looks like it was made by Mr Albert Jackson in irmingham in 1911 or 12. Couldn't top that today surely. Just over the way I caught up with Rocket. He was following beind me and dug a target I missed or ignored. Turned out to be his mystery token. https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16821
At another spot we were getting nothing but I saw an old tourist board with old pics of the town etc. An old map showed a sports field not on any modern map. So off we go for a look and once we arrive we head to what seems the obvious spot for people to gather. Boom. Penny and threepence together and the sixpence 2 paces away. Over the next hour or so we pulled a couple more pennies and my 1895 thrip. Not bad for about an hour and half or so. Have to go back for more. A good silver day for me and I also picked up a car badge somewhere.
Love the silver Vesta case, lucky that stayed fully intact. That location certainly warrants more investigation, especially with some older silvers coming out of the ground, well done.
Out with Rocket again today. My very first target worth digging was the Rams head shilling. A great start to the day. Not long after I got yhe toy car. Unfortunately the bottom has corroded so no makers info. Between us we got 5 padlocks from one site.
Oh. First pics from my almost complete light box. Can see detail on every coin. Happy with that.
EDIT: I have been told the car is an Austin Devon, 1950 made by dinky.
Mrs Ramjet had me running around picking up crap she bought online this morning. We had to travel to the other side of the lake and after the pick up she grabbed coffee and parked at a small reserve and said."Thought you might like to do some detecting while I sit n listen to the radio." She's a keeper. All the modern silvers from around the swings.
