[caparobertsan]

I've gotta ask do you dig up the grass to get these?

YES Underneath it!

 

[caparobertsan]

Thanks all!

Yes it is just English Half Penney! When I saw it popped up I was so happy but when I went home i googled it was just common half Penny....
Yes That florin was strange.. it was in the morning and my first target was that one. It was first swing as well! I could not believe it! It always happen to me. As soon as change the location and first target is a good one. Yes that 1918 silver is a good one! !!!

You are killing it Capa. :Y: :rainbow:

Cartridge cases look like a 45 ACP and a 303, a little unusual in a park if you ask me, recently developed area with a long history of activity?

Mmmmm not sure how they got there. But I now understand that soil raised around parks are new added soil and low part of park is old one. And If digger does not go in easily or soil is containing rock or concrete, then soil must came from somewhere and I will not dig those area. Are those bullet casing old ones?

Here you go Capa, not that you probably need it.
My digging technique( and tools) in photo form.

Yep your technique is 100% legit. I should use sheeting as well. I put soil on top so It looks like something had happened but after 10 min it disappear when soil dries up. But after a week, I really cannot tell where I dug up and parks looks healthy to my eyes.

Both cartridges have been around for 100 years but they are most likely from just after WW2.

Thanks all! :Y: :Y: :Y: Once again weather in Melbourne is bad so I don`t think I could go hunting :N: :N: :N: I hate dig in wet soil and there are many many mosquitoes! :N: :N:

 

[caparobertsan]

I bought very old detector from U.K. For some reason, I like analogue simple to use detector. So I bought this one. It is C.Scope CS4ZX. It is about 20 years old but I am finding many things with it. Only problem is that I cannot tell how deep the targets are. Otherwise I like this one.
I went to my favorite park again and found comm pennies.

Once again Croc digger struck! :N: :N: :N: :N:

 

[Greenhornet_au]

Oh Capa, mate you need to send that to me, I collect chopped coins.

You could buy a kids plastic spade and convert that to a Plug Digga !
Less damaged coins LOL :Y:

 

[golddiggerart]

Good onya Capa....Shame about the Penny getting all bent out of shape. You sure that's not from a Lawnmower? :Y:

 

[silver]

Bangin all round that 1930 mark mate ! :Y:

 

[Ramjet]

They are in nice condition... big gash aside.
