Great hunt Lazy...

Knocked down house sites are interesting;
do you find they're full of crap ~ pipes, old sheet metal flashing etc?

Say Lazy, is that a stainless steel sieve in the top photo ???

 

[lazyaussie]

Snowy yeah the knock down was full of junk the area were i found the coins was scraped off & the only spot i could get the coil within a foot of the ground.
yes it"s stainless i bought it at a opp shop for $1 it"s a test sieve so quite small.
Almost didn't recognize you with the new avatar . Have you been getting out lately ???? i"m just about finished hunting for oldies this year the ground is getting to dry + hard i"ll start hitting the play grounds with the ace hopefully i"ll get enough over the next 4-5 month to buy all the toys i"v got my eyes on speaking of toys did you get the new e-trac.
Eu citzen the aussie silver changed from 92.5% silver in 1946 to 50% silver so it"s allways nice to see a pre 46 silver pop out of the ground .
happy hunting all

Hi Lazy, nice to see you respect your hunting turf, by giving up on digging in dry park land!

More people with that attitude will make our hobby last longer...

That pre '46 silver sure is nice to hear eh!

I've had a bit of bad run family-wise; BUT things are leveling off, and I'll be out swinging again SOON!

Next Monday we're off to my daughters in the country, an old dis-used church, a sports ground and an old river bank
to hunt, hopefully I'll have some good stuff to post eh...

I'm definitely interested in getting an E Trac my friend; ~ I'll have to sell my SE first including its new 11"pro coil.

Have to keep wifey happy ya know !
