My First Month With The Explorer

C. Nyal de Kaye

New member
I have just completed my first month with the Explorer. I got quite a few coins, mostly $1 and $2 with a few 50 cents, and a heap of 1 and 2 cent coins. As most in Oz will know they give the same signal as a $2 coin. I have set it up for the above coins only at the moment. In total $338.42 for January.

In addition I found 3 rings and 2 lockets (none of any real value), a 200 lire coin, and English

Way to go!

[quote C. Nyal de Kaye]In addition I found the pictured medal? Does anyone know what it is? The obverse is blank, and has a bit of a lump on it. I know that the word Dinar is some sort of currency, but I don't think that this is a coin. Any ideas?[/quote]

Looks like you found a Yugoslavian coin! (Besides some Italian lira, I've also found a Finnish coin here in the U.S.)

Thanks BlackX. I looked up the suggested site and there is no doubt that that is what it is. I reported that the obverse side of my coin was blank. I have had a long look at it now and something has been stuck onto that side masking the original. I'll see if I can separate the add on bit. Good on ya BlackX and thanks.
 
C. Nyal de Kaye $338.42 is a great cash bonus for a months work...

That's a great start. I'd love to be able to do that any month, but can only manage such amounts when I spend time in Sydney over the Christmas break.
Good luck and enjoy.
