Was originally going to hit the beach with the last of the big tides.
Slept in for the 4am one and enthusiasm was lacking on surfacing at dawn. With the recent heavy rain decided would probably be pretty much the last chance to hit the grass before it gets too dry.
Quick call to a permission I've been sitting on for too long - He thought I'd forgotten.
As if I'd forget about a virgin permission(!)
Old house site at back of a large rural section. Lotsa nails and rusty tin from the house so cherry picked for first visit to get an idea of where things were lying.
Only coin younger than 60's was a dollar, but I hit just about every year from 1934 through to 1951 - I suspect this was alongside the main path to the front door as the bulk were in a linear orientation from the old road alignment to the house.
Little bit of trash dotted around, but out of the Cinzano and Gordons caps came a turn of century Ching Dynasty coin (decipherable only as far as Chihli Mint as very rotten). Goes to show, never can tell.
VF 1934 half crown was a nice surprise - been a very long time since I had a big silver.
Hope the rain continues for a few days though. Many deep twitchy signals that I had to ignore to maximise the first sweep in limited time.
