True. Searching world coins by diameter seems to be a nightmare for the websites that are out there, you either need to know what country you're looking for first, or the database is just broken in some cases! Another option could be an American 3 cent 1851-1873, for where I found it I'd expect...

Mystery silver coin! Fully worn of all detail so plenty of age on it, thought it might have been a groat but here it is on the right next to the one I have - too small so thats out: Smaller than a threepence, so now we are in interesting territory. The diameter is bang on 14mm, so too big for...

A new permission, haven't got to the main action yet but promising: Can't find this cricket buckle in the latest version of the book, might be in there though it's getting pretty big...

Had to run a long range errand which passed by a an old site which I made 20 minutes for (its a little bit like "flowing beer" if you like stupid riddles). Got straight on the Very Old with a gilded button and a musket round. And to finish up a tone that I was hoping to be a nice big florin or...

More of a PSA than exciting finds, but M3 on the Legend is turning out to be a really powerful mode for flogged spots. 20 minutes on an old spot gave me an 1863 penny and a Paris buckle, haven't pulled anything of any interest out of there for a couple of years now and the last coin was an 1806...

Few more goodies from near this spot, first run with the 1.10b firmware. Not using any of the new features yet as they mostly seem to be about adding filtering back (happy to be corrected), probably will get mileage out of the ground suppression at some point though. The "P" button is really...

Missed this thread when I was looking for modern Australian coin target ID's for the Legend over the Christmas break, decided to do my own testing just now and arrived at slightly different numbers to Timijay, particularly with the 10c and 5c: 5c - 21 10c - 27 20c - 34 50c - 37 $1 - 43 $2...

Old was the theme today, two pin fire shotgun brass, a brooch/badge that can take a centrepiece like some of the cricket buckles, anchor button, couple of lamp bits and finally another token! No way that I haven't swung over the token multiple times with other detectors. Only about 3 inches down...

Another nameplate, probably off a buggy again but tiny, this blacksmith was active in the mid 1910s.

Just cleaned up the results from about 40 minutes on an old house site on family property over Christmas. This particular spot has given up about 40 coins in total since I've been detecting it but only really get a couple of hours a year to hit it, first time with the Legend which really kicked...

Don't often get on the moderns but half an hour at the lake dirt fishing while the rest of the family fished the traditional way was rewarding.

Found a second buggy nameplate, I reckon I've ignored this signal before as it gave a long VB can signal, but this time I must have swung over the short axis which gave a sharp 50ish dig me... Only a few hits on this business on Trove, seems to have been active in the 1890s. And for...

Can't complain too much with the results, but I think I've found the floor of how low I can drop the tone breaks, my steel caps are causing falsing into my top break now... Compensated with nudging the bias up a bit but not the compromise I want to make yet. Could slap the 6" back on now to give...

Few and far between in my particular area, but turned up my third Chinese coin. Funnily enough, they have all been Kangxi Tongbao's so far, 1661-1722. Came in right about 34-35, have my highest tone break set at 35 which is low enough to make my most desired targets pop, but I think I'm going to...

If I've learned anything watching the Coffee Bush Kid on youtube, it's that the ring thing is probably a bit of the runner off an umbrella or parasol...
