Not forgetting the pile of trash. Looking forward to this weekend as I'm on a mission :) Edited by user Monday, 22 June 2015 1:29:42 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Disillusioned my my lack of finds last night wondering if I had lost my mojo I decided to head to different wee park tonight for an hour and a half and scored another 4 silvers, 1874 sixpence, 1912 sixpence, 1963 Oz sixpence and an nz sixpence also an 1884 penny. Oh and some spendies. Hunt was cut short by police driving up and down and slowing down where I was, felt a bit uneasy.

Went to my wee plentiful secret spot and pulled out 10 more silvers, another nz forces button, probably have enough to make a coat, and a 13th Regiment WW1 badge, this is my second one of these so quite pleased. Old style Mickey Mouse badge, and a iron cross looking badge with the letters cbcb, no idea what that is. An old brass bottle opener and the usual pile of penny's.
