What are the best/valuable coins to find in Australia?

[madmax3022]

Hi i was wondering what australian coins i might come across that are the most desirable to find? I've been watching the NatGeo show Diggers and being in the US they get real exited about old coins found but doesn't really help me know what to look for

I'd love just to get a English silver let alone a sovereign of any kind!

pre 1946 silver coins have the better bullion value and they add up .
you can calulate your bullion value here .............http://www.australian-threepence.com/silver-coin-values/australian-silver-coin-values.htm
i have managed to collect about $300 worth in bullion in the time i have had my xterra 705 bout 18 months or so and i dont go out with it very much lately .
got these yesterday .the florin is about $8.80 bullion value on its own
