Todays hunt results.

Dang! The dirt always scratches the paint off for me unless I thoroughly soak it but still never had one come up that clean, great work P305!

 

[silver]

He is off and driving now, but I'm sure he will check in on the thread, I know he is very proud of that find.

 

[SteelPat]

Finds for today. 1877 Penny, plus junk. The 3 wedges were down about 2 ft and made the Zed go off its head. Got all excited there for a while.

Nice Penny and Bullet Bits SteelPat,... I hope the soil was soft enough for you for a 2' dig ,... amazing how it's all great gold and silver until it changes before our eyes as it comes out of the ground hey !. :lol:

 

[SteelPat]

The first 1ft was ok... Then it turned to clay (looked undisturbed) which got me a little excited.

 

[silver]

Amazing what 100 years can do to the looks of soil ! :lol:

Here is three recent little hunts worth all chucked in together for the photo catchup,.. one hunt was before my trip out with P305, the other two hunts were after our trip. I would take him to my good spots, but he does want to explore new ground with me(and get all the good leeds).
Here it all is.

Here are the spending goldies.

And the spending decimal not so silver silvers. :lol:

And the 2cs

And the 1cs

and the PDs(yes that's all of them).

And the nick nacks(including a live .22 round)

I was looking at the Penny, and thought,.... could it be.

C O U L D it really be ,....
N U H ,... not unles that edge got pushed across to make it just look like another three.

Could still just be a damaged zero I suppose
Certainly had me wishful thinking 1930 penny for a while though(until I saw the photos).

 

[AtomRat]

What a haul silver! Neat work wish it was a '30!!

 

[Ramjet]

Some good hunting silver. Still can't beat the Batmobile. That thing is cool.

 

[Heatho]

Nice peace sign man, like wow.

 

[silver]

Like now man,....Lookin like I have time for peace, war, and elephants.

 

[silver]

One half hour hunt today,... that's all I had time to get in(still watching paint dry nearly all day).
just a little bit of spending money.

This one sood out, nice and shiny and all.
funny how a 2014 coin can have 2014-2018 on it.
Myself, I think they were skimping a bit and should put a coin out for each of the years 2014 through to 2018.

 

[Ramjet]

Kaching

 

[Dreamwalking]

The period encapsulated 2014 - 2018 are the years distanced by 100 ... WW1 was 1914 - 1918.

Just a bit of wishfull thinking on my part,... hoping they would put the exact same coin out with four different minting years(but the same side on the opposite),.. woulda made for nice collecting.

 

[silver]

Did get out for 10 minutes today while awaiting Mrs Silver and scored a coin for my efforts.

Just your typical 1c hunt.
There are times when you are just happy enough to be able to get out for a little while.

True that

Nice photo of a real bronzed possum in its native environment.

It is great to just get out sometimes Silver, although I have also become more nostalgic about our austrailian wildlife. When asked what i am looking for, thesedays I respond 'old silver coins but all I seem to be finding are possums and frill necked lizards'

Those with a bit of wit, usually have a chuckle and if I am true to form and have collected a few, the little kids go home with a bit of bronzed australiana.

 

[silver]

I give them away when I can as well Wally,... the kids think it's great, as they are really old Australian coins from the last century to them.

 

[Goldpick]

A lot of young ones starting up in the hobby would probably be happy with a few BB's, maybe I should start replanting them in the ground from now on, I've got enough of them.
