I have been flat out since Easter and haven't had a chance to get out but today was the day.
I was given a tip-off last year from an old fellow that had seen me detecting early one morning and he came over and initiated a conversation. At the time, in my arrogance, I thought, "oh God, here we go" however he was full of information about "old town Brisbane" and told me two spots I should try. Turns out he was on the money and I have wished him a big thank you this afternoon.I spent the afternoon at one of the locations and to say I'm happy is an understatement.
13 pre dec coins, the highlights being a 1903 six pence and a 1927 florin.
the by-catch was just under $40 in spendables, a silver ring and a very old bottle opener. The good news is this place is huge. I would have covered one tenth of it maybe less. I'm happy to share if anyone in Brisbane wants to meet up for a hunt.
Cheers
