NZ pennies read pretty high on my detector some times, much higher than Brittish, and with that good strong signal they tend to get my hopes up that it is a big silver.

The weather turn out alright after work so went down to my local park and decided Id go slow over an area I have had some success. Came away with four silvers so Im stoked! Dont ya love when you have a little ball of dirt in your hand and its beeping, so you gently squeeze it to reveal the lovely silver (and imprint) inside. Just like xmas!

A very cool moment in time when you opened it up to revel the tiny pic inside, of the young lady from the 1930's,40's.........a photo not seen for probably 60 to 70 years............almost a wee time capsule. How cool was that!!! Great stuff mate...........when's the next night hunt???

Best find was a 1943 florin but also scored 1866 & 1867 pennies, another locket (empty), 3x sixpences, a metal horse head possibly the top of a trophy and about $27 plus some other odds n sods. I've had a tidy up to sort many outings finds that have been piling up on bits of newspaper everywhere. Is much better to keep on top of it as you go!
