Afternoon hunt with Chrispy trying some well hunted suburban parks, was real hard going, but did manage a bit of silver coin art while detecting back to the car, rest of the finds were just penny and halfs and some spendies.

Nice work bud. Bit of thinking outside the box looks like it payed off. Still hoping for my first RSA badge. I'll certainly take any bullets off your hands. I do like old bullets. Got a big display now.
