Pulltab Hunting

Well, thats what it felt like at least ;) lol!

Decided to have a go at finding some silver coins again today, so the discrim went back to 60,
and the pulltab invasion (of my pockets) started in the frost this morning...

End up with 3 silvers from the last of the 3 locations i tried today.
Also got a few late 1800 coppers, a 62 florin and a few brown 1's n 2's.
Not a single spendable coin today, but i didn't mind at all ;)

HH all :)

Hagley Night Hunt

Met up with 4 other detectorists tonight for a headlamp lit hunt in the park.

To-nites finds were a penny, 2xhalf pennys, 3 x old 20c pieces, 1x old NZ10c, 1x AUS 10c, 1x old NZ5c 1x old NZ2c, $3.10 spendable, a half of a heart broach/locket or something, and 1 silver ring :)

Few more 1's n 2's

Spent another few hours at the gold producing site this morning.

I'm starting to run out of areas there to search now tho,
so i think its almost time to take my lucky penny and move on.

Picked up another surface find today...

HH all :)

Goldie Fever!!!

Seems the current place im interested in, has no shortage of dropped coins!
I guess if im not finding any silver coins, the gold colored ones will do fine ;)

Also picked up a couple surface find necklaces today, although neither has number markings,
and also a couple coins from around the other side of the globe.

HH All! :)

Coin Shooting - Continued...

Headed back to the same place as yesterday this morning,
and searched another area of grass.

Didn't find as many goldies today as yesterday, wasn't there as long either,
but did stumble upon a few older coins.

Sadly, the silver one got a little garked, but happy to find it all the same ;)

Yes, i guess "little" is an understatement ;P Poor Florin!!!

Another fun morning/early afternoon out detecting, and only used the one 9volt rechargeable up,
so may have to have a rest, something to eat, then head out again later on this evening ;)

HH All :)

Coin Shooting

Felt like a goldie hunt today, and came away in the end with an alright total i think ;)

Spent the good part of the day to get it, and would have come in well under minimum wage,
if i bothered to work out the $/hour ;) Fun all the same - lol!

Alot of the coins were found nice and shallow like this...

Also dug a bit of rubbish up ...

 Early in the afternoon another detectorist (Scott) and helper (sorry forget your name) showed up,
and i learnt he is just back from Japan. (Kiwisan from the Friendly Metal Detecting forums)
Hope to see yas at the Papanui Club this comming Sunday :)

 In the end, I had an enjoyable day of detecting, with an alright clad count to boot ;)

HH all :)

Whatsit Wednesday

Was out in Hagley Park again this morning, skirting around the edges of the rugby/soccer fields.

No silver today from Hagley, but managed a few from another location later on in the morning.

Spinning top???, draw handle??...Its heavy and spins well ;) Whatsit..
