One year Wrap Up part 1 : Silver coins
Auckland is really really hunted out and most of old parks and other detectable areas are reinstated.
So it is really hard to find a spot that has never been detected or can have some leftovers...

but anyway, here is my lot, the total of 55 silver coins (so miserable to compare with South Island guys who get up to 30 silvers in one day):

I still do not have Half Crown :-( but hopefully will find soon

My Favorite coin of all is Indian Half Rupee 1936 that was found at Mission Bay
I also have 2 Sixpence 1944 that are still shiny as they were just minted - absolutely pristine condition
My last silver coin for a year was munted 1917 Canadian 10 cents

Next part will be Silver Junk and silver Rings :-)

If you want silver leftovers then look for really old footpaths in the older suburbs. Along the edges and in the cracks of the concrete are silvers waiting for you :)
