Was flicking the Lesche around in the hole and it flipped up onto my hand-kinda cool, and it just happened to be my 1000th silver coin! I've been keeping a running tally and separating each coin into a cointainer for each type. Musta chucked a few in without adjusting the specific coin number though as my separate numbers don't quite match the running tally which tells me the 1000 LOL! Anyways, for something to look at heres the numbers of each coin-I havent separated sterling from 50%. Brit; NZ 3p = 158 3p = 341 6p = 64 6p = 233 Shil = 27 Shil = 93 Fln = 6 Fln = 18 HC = 9 HC = 12 I have 25 Aussie silvers, a few pieces of coins, a coupla foreigns and a few that have been pendants/pin badges etc too. I might (or someone may beat me to it haha) add up the "back in the day" value...wonder what I coulda bought back in say the 1930's...?! Cheers for looking in and keep getting out there to find it!

A thousand silver coins would of been a real bonus back in the day. I heard somewhere that you could still cash in a sixpence up until 2006, not sure tho. HH .

Have been very quiet detecting-wise last 9 months! Geez time flies. Working 6 days a week sucks-Hardly any hunts at all, but have checked in here on the odd occasion-you guys are doing great with finds! Had to share this- Got out last night with coinnut on a pretty miserable night (havent missed those haha!). Of course it starts raining on the way but I'm thinking oh it'll be alright. Anyway, just a few metres from where I started I get the first signal, pretty jumpy etc but worth a look...OMFG its a bloody Perth mint 1910 FULL GOLD SOV! Stoked! That powered me thru the off n on rain for a bit longer I tells ya. Hope I wasnt the one who put the little scratch on it... Foiled again attached the following image(s):
