spent the arvo with nzpoobear on a park weve been before and thort id go over an area we have done twice.
turnd up sensitivity on da garret and walked slow and bingo. got 30 silvers and a few more pennys and half penys.
most of them were deep with the half crown popping out at 11 inchs deep. just goes to show how much gets missed.

Well done lads, the silver city comes up trumps once again.



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

Nice going Chrispy. The 1900 silver was a bonus too. I found a 1908 silver sixpence up here near town and i often wonder if it had anything to do with the expiditions to the antarctic at the time.

Way to go yet again Chrispy....I'm guessing you've actually found a time-travel portal to the 1900's.........hence why expat and I can't seem to nail your spot once you leave home!...lol.
That GPS tracker you put under Chrispy's car expat, just won't do time and space....bugger it. :)

That certainly is an excellent result Chrispy.
You must be still buzzing - 30 silver !
Well done.

I wonder if you have found where the circus or something like that was held each year in those early days?
Looking forward to your big reveal.
