Hi All, I have been waiting on the ACT Historic Society to get back to me with something... but no! A couple of months ago now I reunited the war medal with the owners daughter Pam. It was a great (bloody freezing) afternoon. The Historic Society did some research on the 'Corrigan' family...

Nice finds there Dutchy, I especially like the shilling. I love the design of it, simple but effective! SF

Nice find there Silver! I found a WWII medal myself a number of months back. I contacted the War Memorial who tracked down the daughter. On Monday just gone (30/6) I met up with the ACT Heritage Library and the daughter (husband too) and I handed the medal to her. She was over the moon. I did...

That is a great find, nice work KeeponDiggin! SF

Nice work there Joshwasere, always love a gold ring and a shilling! On the beach or a park? Looking at the shilling I would say possibly a park :) SF

Very interesting thought there Pete... I made a video of me digging hole just yesterday to show a mate at work how I extract a coin. I recall I had one crusty side and one clean side. So, I watched the video to see whether the crusty bit faced up or down. Guess what, the coin was vertical...

Nice button there Wally. I found one exactly the same as that a few months back :P Well done! SF

Nice and crusty! Well done :) SF

You mean Silver_Fox ;) Today the ACT Heritage Library organised a meet up with the medal owners daughter, that will happen on the 30th June. For more updates you're gonna have to wait till then ;)

Nice work there Dutchy! That token is cool :) SF

Coins tend to come out of the ground in good decent condition here in Canberra. I was lucky the other week where I pulled out a rare 1946 Penny in very good condition. I did however get 2 really bad ones last week that had growths all over them like they had Leprosy or something! I put the coins...

Better? SF :P

I got drenched out in the rain but the ol Garrett did well, this is what I got: 8 x 1/2 Pennies, 14 x Pennies, 2 x 3 Pence and 2 x 6 Pence :) SF

Interesting indeed! What you need is a water proof detector ;) I've got the Garrett AT Pro International, it loves the rain :P There forecasting rain tomorrow but I don't care, still going out! SF

Great find there rgmhot! SF
