Found 2 coins with my Dad, tonznz's, old metal detector. Made him dig the holes. All Dad found were copper coins.

Well done BAG and good luck on getting him to continue to dig those holes for you. Somehow I don't think it will last too long.

yes, I was delighted she showed the interest, and perturbed at the same time as to how lucky she was in tickling out the silvers. I'll have to invest in another propointer if she continues to show interest.

Well done Bag, lovely condition on the coins too. Nice finds.



My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

Well done Bag, thats a great find, nearly as good as a finding a pair of lost lost glasses. I hope you stick at it and give dad a run for his money. Good luck in future hunts
