Sports Ground Hunt #1

Here is the keepers for the day, and at some point ill add a trash pic from today,

as it was a little more interesting that the normal bottle caps and pull tabs...

Ended up finding that small silver i was after, and although not a NZ one, ill take it all the same.

The two shillings were about 5 cm apart, and the two silver British coins had 50 meters between them.

 

 

I can barely make out the date of 1856 (maybe 58) on the 3pence, its quite worn down,

but this is my oldest coin to date found, and beats my previous oldest, by 15 minutes,

which was the the 1874 sixpence ;)

10 Playgrounds - Coin shooting

Needed $4.30 for $100 for August, ended coming home with a little more :)
Fun thing with doing these barked playground areas, is learning what the clad sounds like,
and im starting to call the targets correctly as they appear/sound off :)
Amazing what objects can be found near kids play equipment..

Kaiapoi / Pines Beach / Kairaki

Was out showing Dad how the machine finds stuff today for a few hours,
and ended up with the following...

Almost a $20 morning

Still haven't got decent camera, but here is what i found today,
less the 50 or so bottle caps and other junk i already binned.

Just Getting Started

Just a short post saying hello to all those im about to click follow on their blogs :)
I have recently purchased a Garrett AT Pro and pin pointer, which arrived on the 1st of August.

Have hunted at a few beaches, playgrounds so far, and am fully enjoying the new hobby.
Once i get a decent camera, i will add photos of what i have found so far.
