Smokey's Equinox 800 Finds.

[Patriot+1]

Thanks Silver, for the advice....like most things it comes back to common sense and respect.
Cheers.

Yeah.... always a chance of an artifact as a consequence any time you dig a hole.
80000+ years here.....not long till we find out it's over a million years+ I'll bet

G'day all,
It's been a couple of months since I had a swing.
So went down to my trashy beach to give the F2 update a go.
At first I wasn't to sure if it was doing anything but then the targets started coming.
Got a handful of crusty coins.

A few silver to clean.

And the find of the day for me was this WW2 medal.
Not to sure what it is yet but I'll give it a clean.

Everything came from this 1mtr patch..Nothing either side to be found.

Cheers :beer:

The Italy Star is a military campaign medal, instituted by the United Kingdom in May 1945 for award to British Commonwealth forces who served in the Italian Campaign from 1943 to 1945, during the Second World War

That's awesome, never heard of that medal but it's a beauty. Looks like a good haul of silvers under the crust too!

Its still in good condition for being buried in beach sand for an unknown amount of time. :Y:

 

[Goldpick]

Great looking medal, it survived the salt pretty good - I wonder how long it had been buried for.

Hi Iindi.
The coppers just soak In vinigar for an hour or so then into the tumbler for another hour or so.
I should have let them soak in the vinigar longer but I was mainly concerned about the italy star.
Cheers :Y:
