Youve been finding a really good mix of stuff there Poohbear. Your ring collection must be gettin quite big. The italian silver is particularly cool.

I picked up a couple of stragglers after you left, Christ - 2 threepences, a 1900 and an earlier (pre 1888) can't see the date, just know that it's earlier than that because of the die axis.

Hi Chris
Maybe you should be thinking about one of these, grab from youtube so quality pretty stink but it's 13 detectors in a row, could be handy for Hagley!
Now which one sounded? And how do I pinpoint hmmmmmm
