I'll be there between 10 and 1.30 ish today, corner of Deans and Moorhouse.



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

Well I had a good day relaxation wise but not finds wise. A good few spends and early coppers including some Victorias but only one solitary silver coin, a sixpence. However I was pleased to meet and hunt alongside the legend that is Tonz from Dunedin, as well as an old face who despite recent suggestions has not been beamed up by aliens, Martin, AKA Hunter. The latter did what he does best, and found a good few silvers within minutes of arriving.

sorry Chris. I saw the thread and shot down there. Two thruppences . Met expat and hunter. Then I tried little hagley found three silvers including a 1915 half crown at 10 inches. Hunter is a magnet for silvers! He arrives and two digs has two silvers! I arrived last night. I am in chch until boxing day. Love to go out again in the morning!
