    Some Silver

    Gday, We all love silver crossing our palms. Today I doubled my collection of Florins. They were found using the 5x10" DD HF coil and were about 4" down. They were worth one tenth of a pound or 2 shillings ( commonly called 2 Bob) They were made redundant in 1966 when Australia went to decimal...

    Victoria and Edward

    G'day detectorists, Just a couple of English coins that I was lucky enough to detect this week. We used British coins before Australia started minting its own coinage. A King Edward 7th 1902 penny and a Queen Victoria 1893 half penny. Edward was Victoria's oldest son. He took the throne at...

    Medallion

    Hi from Australia, I went for a short hunt yesterday morning seeking old pre decimal coins. Targets were sparse but I had fun and a good walk in the outdoors. I did manage an 1893 medal minted to celebrate the wedding of The Duke of York who later became King George 5th of England to Princess...

    Golden morning

    G'day Xterra users, Just got back from a 6.45 - 10am hunt near the CBD . I used the 5x10" HF DD and as I was after shallow targets in nicely cared for lawns Sens. was set at only 15, anything more than 2 notches was ignored. I was lucky enough to detect $46, a USA 1c, a Turkish 5 Kurus and a...

    US coins patch / cache

    Hi, Just home from a break out in the country regions of South Australia. Dry, very hot and dusty this time of year. The heat mostly restricted my m.d. time to early mornings and late afternoons. I came across a lawn area regularly mowed by the local council gardeners on the banks of a creek...

    2 firsts for January

    G'day all, I had a good month with just over $500 in coin but 2 unusual finds were the highlight. Having found quite a few old pre decimal coins, most multple times, I had never found a silver Florin. Australia converted from the British pounds / pence system to decimal system (100x 1c to the...

    Did one of you drop something down here ?

    Gday from South Australia, I was detecting a park in the city last week and amongst the modern coins was a different one. It was dirty and without my reading glasses I could not tell what it was until it was cleaned up later on. ...a nice US quarter, unfortunately modern but an unusual find for...

They were unearthed many miles apart in the Victorian goldfields from the gold rush era 1850-60's. The coin in photo is for scale ad is an Aussie 5 cent piece...roughly the...

    English Penny from Aus.

    Hi, I found this Queen Victoria era Penny in an South Australian country town This state was founded in 1836 so the coin of 1879 is fairly old in it's history. Australia ( founded in 1788 ) began it's own mint around 1911. Previous to that, it relied solely on England for it's coinage. T59
