Bump, any takers for an 1850 coin yet (found with a detector)?

 

[Ramjet]

It's been over a year since we had any action in this competition.

We are still looking for a coin from 1850.

Please read the following rules.

Just for a bit of fun,i thought we should find out our oldest Forum coin find.

But with a difference, I'll start of with a 2014 coin then someone else posts a 2013 coin find.
Next member posts a 2012 find and so on.Until we reach our oldest find without missing a consecutive date.

RULES : Coins must be found in Australia. Does not have to be an Australian coin but must be found in Australia.
It can be a coin or token. Coin dates have to be in order, and you cannot post consecutively dated coins.

Kato recently found some older coins, detecting in the park while I was in Childrens Hospital with her sister, will ask her.

She was queried by Park staff, went well.

 

[Aussiedigs]

I'm curious as to what has happened to this thread, is it dead and buried, or is it just stuck on the 1850 coin or token ?

Kato has gotten as far back as 1768 gambling token find here in SA, but also with a 1807 Penny.... SA not established until 1836
and I am sure that although we may not have a continuous lineage of coins there are some great older coins from our membership.

Can it continue on the count down to as early as we can get, maybe leaving a gap for each of those missing dates after a month or two ?

Or have I missed something ?

 

[shiftyrick]

Thats a good idea to leave blank after a month and go back if someone finds one to fill the gap,Ive been waiting for two years or more to put my 1817 English Shilling i found near Tarnagulla.

 

[silver]

Start another thread lads..... this one could take a decade or two to get that far.

Call the new one the "FORUMS OLDEST COIN FINDS" and then we'll see all much much sooner. :Y:

 

[travelergold]

Found this 1843 thripence in adelaide hills about 5 mths ago

 

[Ramjet]

Great to kick it off again. I am sure new and old members have found some older coins.
Remember we are trying to step back one year at a time.

CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR AN 1850 COIN OR TOKEN.
