Former house site

[John (Australia)]

Yesterday (9th) I went to the site of an old house for the second time and had a good couple of hours despite the flies. The first find was most unusual, a signal that was quite long when pinpointing, it turned out to be a metal fife which I can't get to make a sound yet.As far as coins go I was also happy, a 1925 penny,1934 half penny (dented) 1950 penny and a 1954 florin. Amongst the others finds was a whistle that does work and a engraved butter knife blade. The day before I found the silver ring in ground I was sure I had dug all there was to dig.

Hello John,
I loveeee that ring! Gee, you're doing well! I always get excited when I see relics like these being found. I think I'll just have to find a racecourse for myself. I've got an old cricket ground here on top of a hill, bit of a pain to walk to, only found bullets to date.
Cheers Angela

John, these are really nice finds!!! The whistle brings memories of an antique one that I had many years ago. I wish you continued success out in the field in your search for great treasure!!!

G'day John. Don't you love finding those old coins. Better than finding a fist full of decimals any day. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments to those who answered, and yes Ken it does make the day when I find some pre-decimal silver. Went back today actually and found a 1917 penny and 1946 sixpence and 1927/28 dog registration tag along with various brass and copper objects.
