Kato here, YES!
I can finally get my 1854 1 PFENNING in.

Really proud of this find, I dug it out of a friends front yard in Walkerville, Adelaide.
I have found a number of pre dec coins in his yard, more than him and he has a Minelabs 705 now too.
He wanted to see what was in his yard.

This is my earliest coin, and my next one is 1908 Half Penny, also found in his yard.

Where did you find that? :cool: :cool:

Sure - I only gave it a little wash so it's not fantastically clean. It was found on an 1850s-1870s gold field.

If you want to see a good condition old coin found on the same goldfield wait until 1837 comes up and if I am the one to post.
