Thanks fella's... had that little bit of wait time while one of ours was visiting with a practitioner. Just going over some ground I tried with the minelab once before, but this time using the old Ace because the ground was really noisy.... too noisy apparently for the minelab and its numbers, but old school garrett won out for sure. :D
 
Again today it was a case of hurry up and wait... so... of course, I waited kitted up and searching :D (gotta snatch time these days if your not a key necessity for the trip out) :p

Only found one thing of special intetest
5c for size comparison

So... solid 925 silver :p little bit of 120 yr old Brissie history (wouldn't be as nice if on copper, or as readable).... and tarnish is good.... signal was right.... hunt feeling response great
I'm stoked.... not sure what it is but definitely a little hinged lid to something.
What is the question?
