Big Silver plus war veterans relic

[Terra1959]

Gday

Took the Xt70 out for a swim yesterday...it was raining steadily
I just put a plastic bag over it and fastened it with a rubber band.and donned my raincoat
All the hunting was done in a manicured city park so I used just a screwdriver and pliers
$28 odd, 50cents Euro, 2 pennys, a silver shilling and threepence, a 1945 silver Florin (which was just 20mmm deep)
and a WWII Australian Navy badge which says "Returned From Active Service"
Came home after 3 hours wet but happy
Happy huntin

Thats what I like to see a good keen man,they are great finds those 1 and $2 coins soon add up
there is a coin buyer over here offering 20 times the face value for any pre 1946 silver coins
(scrap value).Problem is of course once they are sold for scrap they are gone forever......cheers

I like the older coins, they have so much more character than most of the more modern coins do. Hey this is your winter, shouldn't it be snowing???? Just kidding.
