I think Hagley's going to be giving up silver for some time yet. I hope. I ended up doing about an hour in Kaipoi Domain, with just 1 & 2c coins coming out, and the bloody same in a quick test at Barrington Park. Grrrr. Hi Oroplata. Good old Kaiapoi. Thats where we lived as kids. Coins turn up in all places, not just the hot spots. Try the most unobvious place, you never know. Pulled 55 coins yesterday from the middle of a lawn area. Wasnt expecting that many. Shane

I've noticed that here in Dunners the parks only seem to give up $8 and that's it, maybe it's an attention span thing or possibly I should hunt the whole park and not just the hot spots, ohwell a good excuse to go back! For sure. Those unlikely spots will surely hold some finds. Gridding helps to clear these areas. Would like to test the two machines together to see the differance. Can you fly up for a day with yours. Wishful thinking. Shane

Dug an old victoria sixpence out of a hole (date yet to be determined) then covered the hole and then thought I'd better check it again and there was a different signal showing. So pulled all the soil out again and out came an 1889 half crown and an 1888 florin. Then another hole a foot away produced an 1872 florin. Those are pretty early coins for Christchurch. Also, check that 1955 threepence, Chris. If it has 2 dots on shoulder, and is in fair condition it might be worth something even though it's not silver.

I saw him riding around hagley on a lawnmower, but it's got an extra contraption on the front that looks suspiciously like a metal detector and every once in a while he slows down and another contraption on the back digs a big deep plug out of the grass and plops it into the catcher. Really makes a mess of the lawn, I don't think he'll keep the job long.
