close up of silver coins

 Managed a hopefully better shot or two of coins after many battles with new camera.

The first sixpence is very tarnished,but the others make up for it.A bit of hot water and soap and they clean up great,certainly is something appealing about a nice shiny silver coin.

Three nations silvers

Spent a day at Hamilton on the banks of the Waikato,in the most unlikely spot I suspect there must have been an old shop or similiar on this spot.Found altogether $23 in goldies along with the deeper pennies and the nice old silver coins,shame about the silver heart I found the two halves about 3 metres apart it has been hit by a mower at some stage.I cleaned the silver coins up but will leave the rest for a rainy day (to busy detecting),also found an old fob watch very rusty though and forgot to take a pic.Can anyone throw some light on the old bullet it is the 3rd one I have found now....HH jim

Trip to the park

Well went back to our most popular park after work tonight and spent from 6pm till dark (8.20),managed $22 in goldies a few penny's and a halfpenny along with the mandatory handfull of 2c bits,also a nice wee silver ring rand up on the etrac 12-46....12-47,nice sweet numbers these are....hh jim

Four rings this morning

Went to one of our central parks this early this morning before the sunday crowds arrived,managed $19 in goldies plus the ever present 2c bits and a few pennies dating back to 1910,plus a 1926 aussie halfpenny,and would you believe 4 rings in total the black one is a junker,the other three are all silver there is no mistaking the signal from a silver target on the Etrac sings out loud and clear.

 Low tide tomorrow at around 4pm just on knockoff time if the sea is still flat I will give the salt water a go,as the crowds are starting to build up again....HH jim

Back to the old park

Well I couldn't resist it,snuck back to the park again,and spent 2 hours (only 2 hours you say, some dummy didnt charge his batterys).Old pennys keep popping up along with a cool old brass suitcase lock,and a real nice 1922 shilling along with .925 silver ring which was at the depth of the pennys,so I assume it had been lost for a number of years.

 Of to work at midnight tonight (bugga) hate that night shift,will charge batterys and try again tomorrow....cheers jim

A first for me

Went to a local park and contentrated on an area I missed last time,managed a few dollars and some nice pennys and a half penny,but the big buzz was the two lead toys, and both complete.Ended up rained off,but I WILL RETURN................
