When i research and plan a day of drive/detect ive learnt to research a second site to have as a backup , this proved useful yesterday. Site 1 was an old school block opened in 1870 and closed in 1960 , google maps showed it relatively intact with buildings and old tennis courts. After a 100klm drive i found the site void of buildings or tennis courts , worse thing was they had dropped fill over the site and back bladed it all. Managed to chat to a local lady she said they knocked it all down 6 weeks prior.....managed to squeeze the 1920 sixpence in the following pics out of the dirt for 2.5 hours work.

Drove another 90klm to site 2 and that proved fruitful , saved 3 little silver 3p best being the 1910 , was told its a key date coin , apparently that monarch died while they were minting them. funny thing was not one copper coin found all day.

Nice hunting.... but it's the fuel involved that works its way into the equation eventually.

Yeah i know to some people driving that far to find a few coins doesnt add up. Thing is im not in it for the monetary value , this is rehab for me , 12 months in Iraq and a total of 2.5 years in Afghanistan doing high risk work i class myself lucky i have found an interest that gives me a sense of peace , nothing better for me than gettin out in the scrub by myself swinging a coil , the finds are just the icing on the cake.

I like that peaceful focus behind the headphones, it draws you in from other things (even pain)... also good to hunt with a mate too(eventually on occasion), it adds other emotional experiences as well (like seeing ya mate score the goods lol) and helps let you find your way around those emotions in a good way (even if it hurts :Y: )
