Bloody freezing this morning!

We couldn't decide where to go for a hunt today, it was bitterely cold this morning with a temp of close to 0. Around linchtime when it had warmed up to about 8 we decided to repeat last weekends venture. First hunt in the next town for some oldies............ the pennys and 6d from that park, than on the way home we hit the goldmine again. Very happy with the resulting 44 coins. The oldest an 1879 penny, nearly $20 in spending and a nice silver as well.

A mixed bag today.........

The results of 2 hunts today, the first at a park out of town looking for the older stuff. The pennys and most of the old decimal from there. The cut penny is a 1951 Aussie, 2 of the others are British and only 1 Kiwi. On the way home we stopped at the "Goldmine" and picked up the goldies and the (junk) jewellery. All in all a most satisfying day hunting.

Goldmine totals to date........

Bloody awful weather here this weekend, we did, however manage a couple of hours this afternoon at the "Goldmine". Not dissapointed, 61 coins in total with $43 in spending. Just did a tally for the last months hunting this park.............$407 in goldies alone, not to mention the 8g 18ct ring, several pieces of silver jewellery, a dozen or so pre decimals and 1/2 a kilo of old decimal for the retirement fund. It just keeps giving and giving.
Here are todays finds.
