hi from oz.thought i would post something although not had much to post a few small silvers in amongst the sinkers but a 1920 halfpenny turned up in a classic sounding hot rock with witch i normally toss away to a place thats not detectable ,but in the torchlight a saw an edge of a coin, not that its a exciting find but it made me think how many i have thrown away [ hundreds ] the moral of the story is take the hot rocks home and check. hers what i have to dig to get the gold. cheers!!
