Hi all, Got a new homestead site to work,I've had my eye on this site for a while now.Finally found out who the owner is and gave him a ring,He was as cool as and gave me permission without even meeting me :eek: He also gave me a brief history on the place,it was first settled in the late 18th early 19th century up until 1960ish.And no detectors have been over it.Here's the finds from todays hunt.

Great site Rockhound, and all the coins look to be in great condition. The Elizabeth pin is pretty cool, can't wait to see what else you find. :)
 
Cheers everyone.I turned up there this morning not expecting much,turned on the detector and the first signal I got was a penny,most of the penny's and half penny's came from a small area in between the 6 stumps in the picture.I think it must have been the veranda and they have fallen through the cracks.

Should be some more goodies to come out today i reckon
The brooch is a beauty too

I would be sniffing out a bit too, find those earlier coins and relics that should be nearby. Late 1800's, should be some Victoria's there somewhere.
