If you DONT have a copy of our NZ Fossickers and Collectors magazine issue 1 and would like one, be the first to anwser this question correctly and you will win a free copy delivered to your door. Again, only if you dont have a copy already. Here is the question. Q. What is my oldest coin find to date. (Hint. Its old and its silver). Cheers and Good luck .

Issue 2 is a couple of weeks away. Just waiting on the big story to come through and its going to be awesome. Wont say what it is but it will be worth waiting for. Crappy weather alright, windy and cold at times with sunshine in between 12.C here now at 7.30am. A little surprise the other day i got asked to do a talk at the NZAHAA (NZ Antique and Historical Arms Assoc) club meeting in August. Been a while since my seminar days, looking forward to that. Militaria collectables etc, choice. .

(sounds good doesnt it).

I am not 100% sure that these all made it into the magazine, but I think that is what is in there.
