What's the Holy Grail fnd in Oz?

[Wolfy]

Hi all, i am in Tassy, and new to all this. Have watched heaps of vids of people finding great old things, civil war relics, buried treasures, WW1and 2 relics, gold coins, Roman finds etc etc etc.

However, obviously none of these are going to be found in Australia. Even old convict finds would be rare I would think, as there could not be much left by now. So I am wondering, what do people consider a Holy Grail to find? (Other than house brick sized nuggets and gold jewellery) What are the rare finds or valuable coins that may be lurking underground waiting for me? 8)

Benito's secret cache (stolen then hidden).
thunderbolts hidden treasure (stolen then hidden).
Lasseters reef(found and lost section).
Underground WW1 & WW2 bunkers full of weapons, planes & vehicles of all shapes, sizes & types. (buried, lost & forgotten).
And various sized gems and nuggets in GPA's.
Others may have good expansion, or they may want to keep specifics as well guarded secrets for family eyes only (just like me), so only the publicly known myths and legends is all you will most likely hear about at any rate, but hey, I'm all ears too on this one !

Maybe i can trip over a nugget one day then....

 

[Wolfy]

Wow, 1.65m for that penny....

For me it's to find a diamond.

A lot of coin/relic hunters seem to like finding the Rising Sun badges. Probably not much value but I'd like to find one too. Gold Sovereigns would be up there too.
As a gold detectorist any nugget find is a holy grail find to me. No relic or coin will beat them for age Anything over an ounce or three would definitely be a highlight though. 8)

Guess it could be a whole lot more fun with some roman or iron age relics eh...

elephant of faith gold nugget

The Holey Dollar or the dump from that coin would be the ultimate coin find, though highly unlikely to ever find one - our first "minted" coin . Full and half sovereign, plus a crown would also suit me fine.

The round silver 50c coins are also a dream find, despite there being large numbers on ebay etc, they are a rarity for the detectorist to find.

Also in the list are the cartwheel penny, cricket buckle, tokens, snake buckle, groat, war medals, commemorative florins, and half crown (Rocket has already ticked that one off).

Holey Dollar & Dump

 

[Wolfy]

Never heard of the holey dollar before. Now i know what i am looking for lol....

 

[AngerManagement]

Any number of Finds would be nice...

But a day out swinging in the wet or cold or heat; is still better than a good day at work.

The Holy Grail fnd does not have to be something of $ value; it could be some relic with a story....

A Holey Dollar I would love to find; but if converted to cash - I would no longer have it ?
