Tried a few different areas north canterbury, and landed 5 silvers, including a 1945 half crown, 1934 florin, 2 sixpences and a 3d, $48 in Spendables, pile of pennies etc...and a bag of junk and clad.
Also found an old brooch with a horse head which I will post at some point.
3 of the areas have great potential in winter when the grounds softer.

Looks like a pretty successful day all in all, with good prospects for later in the year. Nice.

Here's the brooch and the silvers, 6d has 2 little holes on it it but they don't go right through.

Well done mate. Putting in the effort certainly reaps the rewards. Everything is getting dry and hard at the moment
