Treasure Detecting Showntell

[Northeast]

Big trip this evening...all the way out to the front nature strip

Found some nice ones. Found some crap too of course. Does anyone else find far more aluminum toothpaste tubes than they feel comfortable with? :|

1952 penny and shilling and a 1950 penny.

 

[dam it]

:lol: Hey Northeast to answer your Question : Yer :
Whats the GO with these little Ally tubes
Most of the Old pic,s and Film from the Day :awful: None of those Bloke,s had Good Teeth due to :beer: :beer: and more :beer: :beer: and or :fistpump: :fistpump: :fistpump:
But these VERY RUDE WORDS little tube,s are every were :|

 

[Northeast]

:lol: :lol: Maybe they aren't all toothpaste but I am bu@@ered if I know what else they are.

And they ring up a nice tone too :awful:

 

[Dave79]

Think some of them are glue tubes. Have hit a few patches of them around where sheds and workshops used to be. Sure sound like a silver spill at first!

 

[Goldpick]

Too right about those old lead tubes sounding good, especially when rolled up. Still worth digging if wanting to chase all non-ferrous targets on the older sites (ie. sterilising the ground).

 

[Northeast]

Last night I was allowed back in the house yard. Have tried slowing my swing and Recovery Speed down. RS on 4.
Wondering if I might get a few of those deeper coins still lurking in ground I have been over a bit.
Seems to work ok. Not great targets and not locking on a specific VID but hanging close enough to warrant inspection.
And prior to digging have upped RS to 8 just to test and the target is gone diddily!! Not that I ever run on 8 - just did for wonderings sake.
All were showing 4 arrows on the depth meter and were all subsequently deep targets.

Back out to the front nature strip tonight. Same deal. Some coins. Some crap.

 

[Smoky bandit]

Couple of nice coins for your effot :Y:

 

[Northeast]

Thanks Smoky.

Most seem around 1946-52 age bracket.

 

[roy cobb]

Nice finds there NE hitting the coins I see .

Nice finds there NE hitting the coins I see .

Yes Roy, only got time in the evenings for a little poke around the house at the moment.

And without the Z it has not really been worth going up the bush (although I did take the Nox for a little walk one day ).

Have ordered a QED so that will get some serious examination when it arrives.

 

[Goldpick]

If you get a lot of iron contamination in the ground, then you may not get more than a few inches down on the finds - most deeper targets may well be masked.
If that is indeed the case then you my have to "sterilise" ground by removing as many ferrous and non-ferrous targets to get at the deeper stuff. That has worked for me at many older sites where you essentially strip away layer upon layer to reveal finds missed by others.

Have you got the small coil for the Nox, it may help to liberate some more coins in difficult areas?

 

[Northeast]

Yes, there is quite a bit of iron crap down there. Seems to be quite a layer of crap at the depth of the Pro-Find. It's funny that the grass seems to have just been grown over a layer of river rock and a little bit of soil that must have just slowly increased in depth over the past 70 years.

Another night on the nature strip.

I think I have worked out why I missed all these coins and things the first time over. My lack of thoroughnessability

Happy to be pulling the little sixpence and 1 cent out from some depth .

Any idea what the Acorn Stevens NY thing is? Seems to be off a sprayer/water tank/ implement of some sort.

 

[Manpa]

Valve connection on a hand pump.

 

[Northeast]

Manpa - Thanks!! I had no idea what it was :Y: :Y:

 

[roy cobb]

You are tuning up the coins now NE good luck and keep it up.

 

[Northeast]

Got my oldest English coin today.

As best as I can work out it is an 1824 Shilling. Not much detail left but still cool.

 

[Dave79]

Niiiice. Few pre Victorian treasures turning up lately. Good hunting!

 

[Smoky bandit]

Wow still an Awesome coin mate :clap: :beer:

 

[Northeast]

Cheers gents. Coming up 200 years old

Was out trying to find gold with the QED - a nice little 'incidental' find!

 

[Goldpick]

Just love those old silvers, great find Northeast!
