#38 trip. The bulldozed site 9. Finally made it back here after a few weeks. Took Chrisyboys advice and buzzed under the trees and i found a NZ half penny. Was happy then as id found nothing the first half hour. Then i buzzed over again where the front door and steps were leading into the old church and struck another half penny and a 5 cent piece and a key. Extra happy now until my foldable shovel dug its last ever hole and broke in two. Dug alot of stuff in 5 months with that shovel. To be honest it was insoficient for the job and i look forward to a new diggin tool. Must be tonnes of stuff still here at this site in amongst the truckloads of scrap metal underground. Pulling a coin/relic out of this mess is truely an art in itself...lol. Two NZ half pennys, a 5 cent piece and a key.

Not totally sure there Ronald..oops i mean Poohbear...Definately need a small shovel for the beachs and possibly one of those tools for the dirt. So dry up here now and the dirt has gone hard to dig. Im goin to have to raise funds for these as times are very tight (almost nill existent...) here at the moment. Using the garden scoop at present.

i know what you mean..i have been out of work for over 18 months..a beach scoop is better for the beaches as all you do is scoop up the sand once you find a target and then shake the sand out as they have plenty of holes in there design...hope things pick up for you...those leiche knifes go threw just about anything
and are a good investment..

GOLD. In all its glory. personaly i prefer silver, dont know why just do. Ive found Gold in its raw form and in its refined form, either way GOLD is GOLD. Very popular to say the least. I often wonder where the 100 odd views on my page some days are viewed from, all over the world i guess. Freaks me out sometimes. How cool is that tho. Plan ya day to jump on the forum with something. Goin to sleep and dream that the bed is a giant gold pan, but you dont have to worry cos all the GOLD will be lying at the bottom in the morning when you wake up. Lol, that was funny. Crack me up.
Last post here folks on these pages, startin to max out. See you all on the flip side.
Post #4 is useful.
Next post. Shanes Page Too
