Rumours are rife amongst the Christchurch detecting fraternity, that a Sovereign was unearthed on a lunchtime hunt today.
All I can confirm at this stage, is that it was NOT me.

What's the ratio of holes for one of those?

After doing a quick search, I'm guessing several thousand targets before you get close.
