You will find that Lesche digging tool is really cool in the dirt and Kykuyu grass too.

Talking about detectors from overseas, note that several of the
dealers will often give you one of those knives and a Pro Pointer in with the price
of the detector.

I also note that some of the freight rates quoted on this forum seem quite
high compared to what I have paid in the past (not from Kellyco)

For what it's worth that is my experience anyway. :-)

I figured that must be a misprint, otherwise the total at the bottom would have had a few more zeros in it!

Hey there. Well done on the half crown and a good lookin haul there. I have been using CLR (calcium lime rust) to clean my silver coins and it works a treat. Try a 2 min soak. then half hour, then an hour. Clean up with a tooth brush after soaking. Awesome for salt encrustation.
