Beowwwtaful :-D makes hunting in the rain covered in sticky mud alllllll worth it :) madsonicboating attached the following image(s):

Cept I know of 2 others that were found nearby in the last 2 days. Some days I think I must walk around with my detector off! Detecting porn..yes I like that one haha For those of you who don't know...my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/u...onicboating?feature=mhee has heaps of vids of my old spots and finds..good for rainy day viewing. The next vid I make will be number 50 so I have a wee prize jacked up for one lucky commenter/subscriber :) It was the other silver that got me fizzing...dug that and then had a penny signal beside it...cool I thought a pocket spill...dug the penny and then beside that hit another signal...low, gold tone, deep...holy shit have I have I have I dig dig dig flip scrape scrape dig dig some more careful now don't damage it oooooh whats that I see yellow YESSS ahhhh fuck NOOoooooo it's yellow tinfoil. Shit. Cheers Dan Edited by user Tuesday, 20 November 2012 9:41:51 AM(UTC) \| Reason: adding shit
