Hi Tonz. Awesome find that nz 1 dollar coin, wots the odds on finding one of them. And that young victoria coin will be a 1867-1879 coin, i just found one too.

I wonder how many people there are in Dunedin on this forum or at least people with detectors here, met two guys on my last two hunts that have detectors but apparently aren't using them. I've pretty much done every playground here (around the hot spots) and have noticed more and more plugs. Beach hunting isn't an option with the ATGOLD so I might get an ATPRO but that is a few ring finds away yet, maybe just a bigger coil to begin with!

Yeah that's my I'm bored park. I know of two other members that live very close to there, wonder if it was them.
Talked to a fellow from Delta the other week and apparently there are 110 parks/playgrounds in Dunedin so plenty to go around just a shame those darn eftpos cards are slowing the replenishment rates!

Yeah I bet the eftpos cards will have made a difference! I gew up in Brighton and when I was a kid there was a story about a stash of antique knives buried in the bush that we played in. I have no idea how true it was but we spent hours digging holes all over where we thought they could be. I always wonder if its worth checking out one day with the detector. Not much has changed in the area.

Photo has the few coins I have found today and at Port Chalmers too. Can't work anything out about the silver shilling from Port Chalmers. Giving it a soak in ammonia. Might take a year the state its in! Action shot of my minelab taking on the crabs!


Hi Tonz,

Just a note re your whistle - it is actually a crimp type cable joiner as used by electricians. 7064 is the cable size.
Can't remember what the other letters mean.

Tonznz I have found 2 of those watch plates. Both mine were silver and had
small hallmarks on them. From that I was able to trace the brand and year.
