I've been out to my fav beach tonight, working between the waves in the surf line, digging between the waves coming in and out. 36 coins, including four old silver, including an old english trupence. I like the idea of collecting a kilo of silver coins and displaying them somehow as a brick, say in a perspex box. I have to work hard though as most silver I have found are those trupences - very light.

Its quite amazing really how many of them people lose, perhaps once they have inhaled the contents of the pipe they become a bit careless?
		And now....On sandy beaches and muddy soil, rings and coins await my coil!

The proper term for your find is a "sneak a toke" pipe. Designed to load up, and pull out and puff when ya on the move. A good design but they tend to block easily. Apparantly. Man made alcohol, God made weed. Who do YOU trust. Hahaa I love google. It's full of so much info. Honest.

I find lots of suspicious rectangle shaped tin foil pieces in the parks round here. Found a big tin with only crumbs in....damn!

Looks like a shift knob that we use on hotrods. I have a few similar....would be keen to buy that off you if you were interested in selling it?

Cool find though! Might go to the a and p grounds or another spot over your way this arvo....will txt you if I do in case you wanna catch up mate. That reminds me....I have noticed and been told by a mate in citycare that all the bark playgrounds are getting ripped up and the woodchips replaced. They spray the woodchips on through a hose! Cool to watch. But there goes all the coins etc. I tried scanning the pile of woodchips from a few on max sensitivity to no avail. Guess we be waiting a while for them to stock up again. :( Edited by user Wednesday, 21 September 2011 1:32:10 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
