Todays hunt results.

Nice to get one with the weight on it,... keeper for sure.

Great finds silver,Like the cross and coins mate.Jason

Thanks Jason it was nice to be able to get out amongst it all.

Interesting array of finds Silver, its good to have a variety of trophies to display and chat over rather than a bag full of pennies.

That it is Dw,.... although the bag full of pennies makes one feel like Gladstone Gander and with the luck thereof.
Was exciting to come away with the extras though (from done before ground), amazing what you can miss, and embarressingly enough from so shallow too,.... some of those pennys were just there and overloading like a shallow screwcap does, probably why I missed them first time around too. :/

Here's the 1/2 ounce weight cleaned up.
I'll let the results speak for themselves.





Although I do think I'm seeing that the weight was checked from 11-27 so that'd be 1911-1927.
I think that's an 11 above the 27 and in between the 1 and the 8 of 18.

cleaned up good, i like it!

A good variety from that hunt Silver, pity the cross wasn't solid silver, at least you can still use on vampires lurking around your area.

The weight is also a cool find, always handy to have date marks on finds.

Me too,... a bit hard to work out those dates on the back,... could even be a 31,.. or a 1,3,8,11, 21, 23, 27 even.

All the Vampires here have proboscis with retracting sheath :/ ,.... hang on ,... wouldn't be that that sheath could allow viruses to stay viable as they aren't subject to oxygenation whilst protected under there ,... but the scientists would realise that Gp ,... wouldn't they !?
Hey,... on a better note,.. how's all those dates,... I couldn't see any of them until after I looked once I'd used the brasso,... was a real surprise for me(and a treat too).

I do mean mosquitos by the way (ha).

Good finds Silver. They scrubbed up pretty well.

The weight is a great find.

The results of the cleanup are exceptional, I still believe that finding the weight has a far better story behind it than does any coin... that is, unless its a 1930 or 1952 King George penny.

Me too...
That weight is a gem , i love it

Thanks fellas.
Here is the 1910 thrippy after a CAB.


Not much difference to what it was after just water really,... must be the high silver content.

post No. 1247 shows the bent 1958 6d.
Here it is CAB'ed CLR'ed Bicarbed Boiled and then while hot flogged with a hammer between leather and two flat bits of steel.
After all that you'd recon it'd be all cleaned,... but no,... some crud still clings(flat though).

Just a little hunt


with a thrippy

and a big bullet and maybe an old tester lipstick(not sure)

end of bullet

Word of some sort.

Wow , that is a big bullet

Yeah very large and interesting cartridge that one.

Ive got some better photos of the bullet and the mini lippy to put up once I get home,... probably after tea tonight.
