1920? Threepence ... Maybe 
Went a bit further from home today to a park the Mrs passes on her bus trip to work for a quick bit of recon.
The area was so full of trash I thought I would have to give up but having invested in the fuel and battling the traffic I decided to seek out some clear targets In the 30 - 40 range on he 705 in the extremities of the park.
Very excited by the result will definitely be going back.
Yeah baby (possible military emblem) - yeah baby (Collar rising sun) - yeah baby (1901 victoria) - yeah baby (1913 George)

That site certainly has potential mate, well done.
Went back to the park yesterday to see what else might surface
It rained Brittanias, a silver hall marked enamel brooch that the enamel has peeled, a Palmolive soap token a threepence and a few half-roos. I also dug three very old unused pick heads - photo to come.
I said I wouldnt leave until I found a pre-federation silver and out came a British 3p but when I got home it turned out to be 1936 it's just not cricket, but I have that covered too.

Nice work mate, gotta be some more silvers there to coax out of the ground.

Great job on the Brittanias, any of them have some decent age, or late 1800's?
1899 is the earliest Goldpick but I would say the picks are gold rush era items. To find three in 2m2 adds a bit of mystery and gave me hope that something earlier could be there.
A brass top to a cricket stump Silver.
So, couldn't help myself and dropped in on the way home for a quick swing. Got a mob of roos, a hatchet to add to the tool collection and a bucket list item. I am still on a high.

I'm jealous Wally.
I tried detecting my Grandma's back yard that has been in the family for over 70yrs and I still came up empty. I only wanted one old coin. Just one!
I'll have to get some detecting lessons some time soon-ish I think.
