More 'Honey Hole' Adventures

Planned 2 hunts today, the first at the new spot along the railway line I went to yesterday. Well I got there at 6.45am and at 7am the heavens opened............thunder, lightning the whole works. Made it back to the car a bit damp and with only a solitary 1c piece. I thought that would be the end of treasure hunting for the day, but as is common in the 'Naki' the skys cleared by around 10am. Plan B was to check out another school down the coast that had been closed for a few years, we got there around 11.30 and hunted for around an hour. Apart from 2 1/2 pennys and a few old decimals..........nothing! Bugger! Time to put plan 'C' in to action............yep, back to the 'honey hole'. Well I wasn't dissapointed, there is still plenty to find there, only 1 silver today but plenty of pennys and other stuff. Pulled out another 50 or so coins in a couple of hours plus a couple of pocket kinves, a badge, 2 spoons and another strange hexagonal lead thing. The ground was really soaked today and the soil muddy, I guess that made the deeper coins more conductive as this is now the 3rd time I have been over this ground. Perhaps that is why I dug another 26 1 & 2c pieces, they were really deep and most on edge, swing fast and you miss them completely, slow and they 'tune in' to a nice 70ish on the F4.
Here are the pics.
