Just got home from the coast with P305.
Garrett won over the Minelab on this occasion with the 305 only pulling 5c and a dogs collar pendant ,... whereas the 250 pulled a few dollars and maybe 3 sixpences, definately 2, with one pending some serious investigation.
I'll see if I can pop the photos up tomorrow afternoon after I take them in the daylight.

 

[numpty]

the trusty ACE does it again, those 250's must have pulled a lot of finds out with all the people that use em.

 

[silver]

Possibly numpty, but it depends a lot on the user and their skillset, same with most machines ,... I just lucked onto a machine (the Ace) that suited my previous skillset and was adaptable in a way it wasn't really designed for, yet got adapted, and it's only just lately that I've started to trust the internals for coins completely how it was meant to be just to gain another edge with it. Certainly works for me, and no real issues with it that have caused grief at all.

We are not quite up to the standard of you eastern state guys. We only find them one at a time.

This came from a pending lease right near the town of Menzies, WA on 27th April 2016.

Pulled out a few recently havnt you silver! Nice work mate, that penny has had one whacking about! Choice n.z badge bru!

 

[silver]

That's a well toned silver there Mb, looking really nice, you should enter it in the COM comp.
AR, I thought it ( that penny)looked like someone's knife throwing target at first ,... but probably not !

 

[scottlucky]

[silver]

Thanks scottlucky, I still enjoy the thrill of the hunt as often as I can (without getting Mrs S offside too much).

[rocketaroo]

[Ramjet]

That's a big night out young fella big result too, well done.

 

[silver]

Thanks fellas, I better clean up that crusty 6d. 8)
Poor P305 just havin a bad night and couldn't get his 305 to see through all the rocks and salt, otherwise he'd a gotten a better result for himself too I recon.

 

[silver]

Well it's cleaning up slowly ,... with a small amount of persuasion this little bit let go leaving a nice impression.
I'm using less salt(not much in the cupboard) so it's slow going at the moment.

Looks like the star could be pointy.
Looked with the loupe ,... it's not pointy at all. :|

 

[numpty]

wow thats roached!

 

[silver]

wow thats roached!

That's just the peeled off residue numpty.
Kangas on the wrong side. :lol:

 

[Goldpick]

Plenty of targets on that beach hunt Silver, nice haul! Poor ol sixpence, looks like Mr Salt took a few bites out of it.

 

[silver]

Not enough salt Gp for the job to happen at the correct rate.
That was just the bit of flotsam that fell off in the process.
Here's the coin as it sits right now.

Not sure that it will ever look much prettier than what it is now.
