I realize it is absolutely pale by comparison to the "Silversmiths of Hagley" but we try. :-)) Metal Kiwi attached the following image(s):

Its true that Hagley can be very generous, but it can be hard work and unfruitful at times, so we dont always have things our way!! I spy a nice British shilling there, always a good find.
		My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

My first Franc as well and it was actually a surface find too. I think they are only about 65% silver. MK

Hi Roy, I think there have been guys detecting in Auckland for 30 years or more and so the quantities you people are finding now was cleaned out some years ago up here. The silver coin I find is usually quite deep say 15cm plus. HH MK
