Silver at last

[ktmman]

Had another crack at the old train station. Still can't seem to sniff out any silvers at this spot.
Plenty of coppers though,here are today's finds minus the 3 x 2c and 1 x 1c.

Pennies

Half pennies

Britt penny from a hunt at my local spot yesterday. Ground is super dry and hard at the moment. Had to leave a few
deeper targets until after the next rain comes.

Some nice finds there Ktmman,is it just me or are the kangaroos on the pennies different?Especially around the ears.

Hey Eldorado, I was thinking the same think. Looks like someone clipped the right hand side roo's ears.

 

[silver]

Could ha e been a soft strike ktmman !

 

[ktmman]

Entirely possible Silver

Almost forgot to post the cool matchbox toys I found...

Was beginning to think my silver luck had run out after that string of coppers.
Seems I just needed to wander down the road, it has been waiting there for me for a quite a little while.

Now my oldest silver coin.

Soft strike was mentioned, yet due to the angle of the ears and the style....I'd be inclined to posit that they were both struck at different Mints.

In M'cDonalds Aust. Coins & B/notes (2011) there is a photo of a 1954 which has ears similar to the pic on the left. Perhaps Melb. (or Perth), was slow on the uptake to move over to a new design?

0.02c.

Ever have one of those days where you get out of the car, turn your machine on and find 3 pre decs in 5 minutes,
then spend the next hour finding nothing but trash? I'm guessing yes? :lol:

Thanks, they were all found around and old Camphor Laurel tree that goes under water when it floods,so the ground is pretty silty.
