Hey All, Got out for bit of a morning detect today in the same area I found my 1946 penny. The first half of the morning was very quiet, all I found were stacks 1c & 2c pieces with few $1 & $2 coins. I was getting a bit frustrated with the volume of 1's and 2's so I moved to another area. This...

I'm curious on what others do with their dirty modern coins. Do you collect them and when you have a huge stack take them to a bank or stick them in jars like a mate of mine and never spend them? Are there rules around these things? (if there is I'm sure I will get a hate email....) I do...

So the other week my mate and I were minding our own business metal detecting an old playground (it has long since been removed) site here in Canberra when a very nice young lady approached us. She asked up numerous questions. She then said she worked for ABC Online and asked if we wouldn't mind...
