Squirrels 505 Finds

[Secret Squirrels]

So rained for most of the day which gave me the opportunity to do some research on some ideas, i believe i have two more locations to detect for my effort. Got a chance to go to one for a couple of hours between fronts, it was dark for most of it which is good for having to listen and rely only on the tones of the signals. This place was only inhabited at the turn of the currency so hopefully i can chase spendables here. The other place was inhabited from approx 1872 till decimal currency so i have high hopes for that one. will post pic in a minute computer isn't recognising sd card lol.

The 2c coins were 1966x2 and 1967 so probably proves the site is undetected :lol: the tiny one is some sort of mesh filter.

I don't mind finding BBs as they're the same tid as pennies and florins so they always give a bit of a thrill. Keep the coins coming. :Y:

Went for a swing in the 2nd new place this evening this place was established in the late 1870s and ceased a couple of years after decimal currency, It's a whopping big area and there is literally thousands of targets in the ground, it's proving difficult to sort through them but by the looks of things i think it will be worth it.

Ring a ding ding it's only copper bling.

These are both much better than the pic portrays. Hi ho silver

Congrat on Rams head! I also found exactly the same skull ring!

Nice hunt SS. Maybe a Phantom ring? Though I don't thing they have the cross bones. Just a regular pirate maybe.

Nice skull ring mate but from memory the Phantom ring was rubber as you had to use an ink pad to ensure you got an impression on your best mates jaw :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Was worthwhile picking through all the junk targets, should keep you busy for a while, hopefully with some 1800's coinage in there somewhere.

This evenings swing was back down at that coin beach as i haven't been there since Nov, 2 coins (both 10) in the first few minutes and then zilch, So on the way home i called into another little tourist beach and got the rest. it was dark and my eyes lit up when that medallion came out, pretty tonings, but alas its a beer cap designed to play tricks in the pointer light.

NOICE Beaches can be Hit or Miss depending on the day.

Japanese 10yen =10 cents!

Heres the last lot of silvers in the previous photos cleaned up. that really crusty green 6d surprised me, while not great it still came out better than expected.

Now here are some photos of my experiments with toning.

So the second from left is left as is for comparison, also it was the best of them.

As i said previously, they are **** coins prettied up so i can stand to look at them. Hope you enjoy viewing.SS.

went for a drive today and saw a few old farm houses so took note of where they were and asked my friend google who owned them. got permission for one of them already so couldnt resist taking a looksee got a hour and a half in.

10 mins in, who needs a detector

Found a second H/P 10 mins later and then battled the millions of trash signals 8.( tried raking an area :N: in the end as the sun was sinking i just thought bugger it, swing freely and only stop on the real high pitchers like 42s :Y: that worked got 2 penny's in a couple of mins and then it got dark
