Half sovereign! Well done, you bastard!

Half sov's are pretty much identical size to sixpences. Lots of cases of people getting caught painting sixpences with gold paint to try to pass them off as half sovereigns. :)

Very well done once again TONZNZ.
We are all quite envious of the stuff you find.

I am starting to wonder if there is anything that cannot be found in Dunedin.
Maybe we should give him more challenges. DB asked for a Sov and got it.
So what should be next?
