Went a bit further from home today to a park the Mrs passes on her bus trip to work for a quick bit of recon.

The area was so full of trash I thought I would have to give up but having invested in the fuel and battling the traffic I decided to seek out some clear targets In the 30 - 40 range on he 705 in the extremities of the park.

Very excited by the result will definitely be going back.

Yeah baby (possible military emblem) - yeah baby (Collar rising sun) - yeah baby (1901 victoria) - yeah baby (1913 George)

Went back to the park yesterday to see what else might surface

It rained Brittanias, a silver hall marked enamel brooch that the enamel has peeled, a Palmolive soap token a threepence and a few half-roos. I also dug three very old unused pick heads - photo to come.

I said I wouldnt leave until I found a pre-federation silver and out came a British 3p but when I got home it turned out to be 1936 it's just not cricket, but I have that covered too.

 

[silver]

Great stuff Wally, gotta be a really old silver there after finding that lot,.. keep up the good search(doesn't look like it's over yet"by a long shot").
What's that directly to the left of the old button ? :/

 

[Sandta]

Looks like the top off a stump.
Id like to see the token
Thats another old token ... Very cool
Great hunt results

 

[Heatho]

Nice work mate, gotta be some more silvers there to coax out of the ground.

 

[Goldpick]

Great job on the Brittanias, any of them have some decent age, or late 1800's?

 

[Wally69]

1899 is the earliest Goldpick but I would say the picks are gold rush era items. To find three in 2m2 adds a bit of mystery and gave me hope that something earlier could be there.

A brass top to a cricket stump Silver.

So, couldn't help myself and dropped in on the way home for a quick swing. Got a mob of roos, a hatchet to add to the tool collection and a bucket list item. I am still on a high.

 

[Sandta]

Thats pretty cool

 

[Mackka]

Your creaming it Wally69 well done mate.
Cheers

I'm jealous Wally.

I tried detecting my Grandma's back yard that has been in the family for over 70yrs and I still came up empty. I only wanted one old coin. Just one!

I'll have to get some detecting lessons some time soon-ish I think.
