Yeah about the right size Smokey. Got them in the lime juice , hopefully there not 1 an 2 cent pieces lol.

after about a week having this sitting in a cab bath two coins separated from what I was starting to think was junk and destined for the bin .
A thrip and underneath it a sixpence . Here are the picks

Fat fingers Silver layful:

Its been a while since I detected after doing a lower back in late Feb . And it’s taken a couple of months to heal so it was good to be on the hustings for a couple of hunts this week to test things out . Wasn’t expecting much and just being able to have a swing was a victory . Detector used was a Nox with a standard coil to keep things as light as possible.

I hit a few spots I haven’t detected in a year or 2 and a few new ones , both park and beach . Targets were there if you put the hours in. A few rings about but non with hallmarks and some interesting finds .

All in all my back held up and that was my main hope .

There was One scary moment while detecting a park amongst some thick scrub . When I finished cleaning the patch out I headed for a ridge to get some elevation to look for my next spot and circled around the other side of the scrub I had detected . That’s when I noticed a bloke standing in the darkness , in his underwater . It was obvious that he was on something and would of been only 4 feet away on the other side of the bushes from where I was detecting . Will be more careful doing night detects from know on .

Here are the pics


The gold ring is gold plated over base metal . The mini gold coloured scoop looks like it could be a drug utensil of some sort . The silver ring has stone breather holes but no hallmark unfortunately. However the charm with stones has 750 hallmark and is white gold . Anyways happy hunting.

Well done Dan.
Some really good finds there.
Dam I didn't think you seen me.
I'll wear my camo jocks next time.

Either you or Silver was my guess . Both as equally horrendous as each other and hence my quick recko to another spot. I will know to bring ya some clothes next time

I was back a little further watching Smokey watching you Dan.

Yeah you were. must of been the bush behind the bush smokey was in front off.

Lost me jocks there somehow too

bit worried about you fellas.
What goes on up there

Its a north Brisbane thing Mbasko, nothing to be worried about at the moment. Will let you know if those two need to be banished for lewd behaviour, otherwise there harmless . I think?

What the heck was he doing out there at night in his undies?! That's seriously creepy, Danny!

Great hunt though!

Cheers,
Megsy

Out and about yesterday . Had enough of work by lunch time and went detecting to clear the mind . Decided to use both the Knox and ctx in different areas . My main focus was detecting a high trash zone with the Knox and a beach swash zone with the ctx .

The high trash zone yielded just that a lot of trash , so I focused on swashing at site B with the ctx as my back had fully healed and could carry the extra weight and kit.

Being a Thursday gridding was the order of the day , as I followed the outgoing tide . Not too much about but just enough good targets to keep me interested for a few hours .

A little bit of coinage about . Then I hit upon a crisp 12:20 target at about 25cm down . A nice 18 carat ring popped out . And with that I pulled up stumps and called it a night .

Here are the picks






Happy hunting

Nice group of finds there.
