Spent 5 hours hunting in a city park today and here is the result.
Did OK on the goldies and even managed one silver shilling which
was quite a surprise as this park has been pounded by many others
over the years.

Nice. I am thinking Aucklanders either have more money in their pockets or more holes in their pockets than they do down here!
