Trip #39

Well this trip had some interesting finds but hunting this park was HORRIBLE!  Tons of canslaw everywhere all shapes and sizes which really messed with my head...  The first good thing found was a really old silver ladies ring with a blackish stone.  Another cool find was a folding knife... and then another silver 3p... I am not sure if I will go back there as the good targets to bad targets ratio was not great.  and I did find a bunch of wheel weights too.

Coins:

3x $1 coins

3x old $.10 coins

1x 1946 3p

Trip # 38

Nothing that special this morning.  I went to a well hunted beach in the rain so there are not many good finds.  But non the less I did find a really mint 2004 $.20 coin.... I thought it was Australian at first cause it was in really good nick.  I also found brand new tent pegs still bound by a rubber-band... lol!

Good Finds:

Other Finds:

I will b e going back out this afternoon when the rain calms down to a new spot and I will let you all know what I find :).

Trip #36 & 37... I think :)

Well I am back! And I have some new and cool finds to show you all!  Well truth be told I have had the chance to make a few trips so that is why I am uncertain of which trip number this is... none of those trips were very long though except for my trip #36 down hwy 1...

Trip #36 

I had a stop off at a park and the 1st coin I found was sitting on top of a root... it was a 1865 penny and near it under the same tree was an 1879 penny! not only that but I found a great pocket spill with three coins a 1944 1/2 crown with a 1946 sixpence and a 1938 penny... But in my excitement and while I was running from the rain to my car about 400 metres away I dropped the 1/2 crown and sixpence! So I went back out and spent another 20 minutes searching my tracks for them... and I did manage to find the 1/2 crown. I found other coins as well as a silver 3p.

Trip #37

Ok finds

Well what better way to spend labour day than a coin hunt? First are the normal rubbish coins. I went to two different beaches an old one and a new one. Most of the newer coins were found at the newer beach and these are New decimal coins: 2 $.10; Old decimal coins: 1x $.20, 2x $.10, 2x $.05, 2x $.02, and 2x $.01.

Now for the Good finds :)

Well I found some good silver :).  I found two silver 3p (1940 & 1945)at the old spot... This spot has always yielded silver coins to me even though I hit it every few months.  I found the two sterling silver religious medallions on a string necklace... thought it was rubbish at first.  I also found a really old riffle trigger guard thing like 5cm away from the 1945 3p.  Unfortunately I lost the 1945 3p... it fell somewhere in my house or front yard but for the life of me I can not find it!!!!

Just the best finds (previous hunts)

So I know that I have not catalogued the last 10 or so trips but here are the best items of those last trips.

So the bracelet I found after a 1 hour hunt at the usual spot and lost hope... so I went to the playground and there it was :) nice ding on my Fisher F2.  The ring and the heart were found on a beach that I do not go too often but usually only for sort 30 min hunts.  And the St. Christopher pendent was found while hunting with my 4 year old son who claims all the current coins I find... so that meant one treat for me too.

It's been a while...

So just in case you all are wondering where I went... I have been very busy these last few months and really have not had much time to go hunting... but I have been getting back out there and even had a good hunt this past labour day Monday. So I will be uploading those picks some time soon and will be getting back into action as the summer season picks back up.  cheers!
