Thanks mate. I know its a common piece, but to find it first hunt, with the kids, and to know it's aged 75 years, it's pretty cool to me. Cheers.

Any thoughts on how to give it a shine, or is it just not worth it?

Thanks heaps for the reply 7.62marksman. I'm still away, so limited web access. I had a quick look at the link, but can't seem to see the relevant markings listed as per this shell. I'll look tomorrow when I get back. Thanks again. :)

Hello everyone. Well, during the week I bought my first ever proper detector. I ended up choosing the Ace 300i. Given I have nothing to compare it to, I'm so far very happy at how easy it is to use, even the kids have been able to have a crack. We have been camping this weekend and whilst...

Hello all. Numpty, I came across this thread while searching the web about coin fossicking. I am very interested by your finds, and was wondering if you ever updated your metal detector? If so, which did you end up with. Many thanks.
