[silver]

46 looks like you coulda just pulled it from your pocket to give to grandma to pay the rent,... top finds Wally.

 

[Heatho]

Well done mate, great hunt.

 

[Ramjet]

Some nice finds.

 

[Wally69]

Today was meant to be a day of chores and running the wife into town for a specialist appointment 8.( .........but leaving a bloke idle in a waiting room when there is old looking ground round the corner would be a travesty of justice.

They even suggested she needs a few additional consultations.

 

[Heatho]

Hmmm, looks like a good new spot mate. Hope the wife's ok?

 

[silver]

I,a, hope there is a H on that 1915 Florin for you Wally,... and that Mrs Wally is gunna be A O K.

 

[numpty]

well done mate your keen as, no wasting time for you!.

what's that bottle? ink bottle.

lucky the modern coins copped the lawn mower and not the PD's

 

[silver]

Is the tin box one of those old coin dispensers full of old full&half sovs ?

 

[Heatho]

Hell yeah, they 2 Florins, duh I only just noticed after you said that Silver, well done Wally, must be stoked with those.

 

[Goldpick]

Good spot that, a couple of florins would have me wanting to have a revisit for a detect. A nice oldy florin too.

 

[Heatho]

Maaaate, you scored good today, pretty rare that one.

Hope so, have only cleaned enough to see it is made of silver with a decorative jewel on the front with a glint of gold and diamonds. Target ID jumped around a bit, so expecting it to be full of sovereigns.

What you talkin bout Willis?? Seriously??? Wow, nice find, keen to see it cleaned up.

 

[silver]

Now, I'm pretty sure (definitely) that it's the 1915 H Florin that is the rare one out of it and the one that sports no H.
Hats off to a great hunt goin on there Wally.

Not sure what the bottle is, it has no marks at all others than on the neck. Ink bottle was my guess too.

Well here it is Heath, no cigar and the music has stopped playing in my head.

But it could light a cigar and did play music as it is actually the bottom half of a music box cigarette lighter, probably from the '50s. It had me going for a while as the mechanism has a wheel about the size of a half sovereign. and it weighs a bit.

 

[Heatho]

Oh well interesting find anyway mate, I seriously had my fingers crossed for you that it was solid silver and filled with soveriegns.

Anyway that Florin is awesome, great to find such a low mintage silver coin.

 

[Wally69]

I've been searching parkland that I am sure has been gone over very thoroughly by another operator(s), but due to its location I have been reluctant to write it off, so have been back for a few swings when I get a chance.

Today it produced something worth sharing otherwise it has been about $3.18 in 3 sessions on 2 acres of land.

Wow nice find Wal, just goes to show you can never right an area off ey, well done mate.
