Went to an historic park today here in Chch.
Found 3 rings in one hole! That was a first! Two 925 silver and 1 broken junk ring.
A cufflink, decent size bullet and a 'Australian Commonwealth" military button were amonst the other interesting stuff.
No silvers today damnit.

Thanks guys, I have found over 20 silver rings so far but they were the first with the goldbug.

Had another big first today!

I FINALLY got myself a Halfcrown! 1923
Absolutely stoked as it's been two years of watching people find multiples of them! I now just need a florin.
