Finds have to be realistic let's say I'll start the first one who ever finds it gets to call the next one ???? Who's in?

The rules are very simple. A nominated item has to be found When you find it, you post a picture of the item in this thread You then nominate the next item that has to be found A moderator/administrator will verify your find and your nominated item Once verified, a moderator/administrator will award you the PIF Trophy (only one PIF Trophy can be awarded per person) About Rule 2: The honour system applies here and to keep in the spirit of the competition, the item MUST be found AFTER the person nominated it. This is a friendly competition so please don't make the item "to rare or hard to find". Specifying something like a 1930 Penny is just being plain ridiculous. If you specify something to find that the moderators deem WAY to hard, you risk not getting your award. Here are the requirements for specifying an item: The item MUST be found using a metal detector Gold nuggets are NOT permitted to be specified The item MUST NOT be to difficult or rare to be able to find it

Like for example i got my Full House in one day for the fin of all predecimal coins. :

My grandmother who has lived at her home for many years over 40 years I found over 15 oldest was 1947 and got three off them think I sold my collection for ten dollars at a garage sale and included was an old bullet which the guy came back to tell me it was from a gun that was traded to the maoris for land which he had a gun from that period . Love that history side of stuff . Found the bullet at the head of keneparu sounds. Anywho I'm gonna find one this weekend so I'm thinking now what to find next

I have AU$18 (more if I looked harder) to put towards the effort..... just a thought!
