Well done Dave those coppers ended up being in beautiful condition

 

[Dave79]

Dropped a couple in lemon juice for an hour and gave them a scrub with a brass wire brush.... after I checked the dates! So close but no winners.

 

[Goldpick]

Congrats on the shilling and your oldest coin so far! erfect:

 

[Dave79]

I was having a pretty good day in the bush. Couple of nice bits of jewellery and relics,

An Edward VII coronation medal,

A nice little locally made pocket watch fob......
then I heard some hooting and hollering from the scrub where a mate was detecting.....
He pulls out a handful of Victorian and Chinese coins then says look in the hole.....

 

[Guessologist]

Niiice....

 

[Smoky bandit]

Wow nice score :Y: :beer:

 

[Goldpick]

Am liking that coronation medal. I wonder whether the Chinese prospector buried the sovereign with his coins for safe keeping, a very lucky man with that find! :Y:

 

[golddiggerart]

Wow nice... :Y:

Think its a gilt sovereign holder..... typical eh I find the empty vessel and a mate gets the filling!

 

[silver]

:argh: <BuGGa ! hey

 

[Dave79]

On closer inspection it's actually a diamond jubilee medallion, Queen Victoria, 1837-1897.

 

[Dave79]

Found this funky little chain at an abandoned goldfields settlement the other day. It's silver but can't find any hallmarks so thinking it may be chinese as there were plenty of them in the area.

 

[Dave79]

Something a bit different. Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes badge. Try saying that after a few drinks!

 

[Clodmaster]

Cool find. Interesting men's club. I once passed their Melbourne HQ hidden down a little laneway.

 

[Dave79]

Another Victoria diamond jubilee medallion, this one has still got most of the gilding intact. Was about 500m away from the last one I found a few months ago.

 

[indi]

very nice you on a old school site?

 

[Dave79]

Think it might be, few bits of ink bottles turned up too.

 

[indi]
