Scored three silvers, obviously the best being an 1875 Gothic Florin (die no. 30) with great detail but some slight greying. Was right at maximum depth (pin pointer plus an inch or 2) as it was just a good number but very faint noise. Actually nearly gave up haha. The grapevine thing looked GOLD but wasn't, coupla oldish pennies and a broken cufflink from about the 1960's with "The Hi Fi Club, Sponsored by your Coca Cola Bottler' on it. Different-never knew the club existed but had millions of members worldwide. Learn something new every day from detecting then researching! Foiled again attached the following image(s):

Only a small haul of stuff from a well hunted area, but more silver for the treasure chest and always like finding the old pistol/musket balls. Even came across a tennis ball for the dog after just talking about it yesterday-I talk about GOLD coins too but where are they...? LOL Foiled again attached the following image(s):

They're usually pretty worn out cos there wasn't any crowns & bugger all halfs minted around the time so they took a lot of circulation. Catch up with you fellas soon.

I like that Commonwealth coin and what a nice colour. I have got one uncirculated one in a case as well, but I am sure I would like it better if I had dug it from the ground.

Not bad when the 3rd target is a GOLD ring weighing in at 4.5g. Pity it was dealt to by a ruthless cutting machine! Another version of the Gordonia condom case lid, 1891 h'penny, 1921 thrup and a coupla NZ pennies snuggled up in a hole together. Get out there and happy huntin' !
