Had another great hunt at the beach today, got my first silvers with the F2. We picked up where we left off in the last video and detected along a corroding bank that seemed to be releasing it's lost treasure.

Awesome Finds :)
ReplyDeleteYour doing well finding the Half crowns.. most were pulled in the 80s with the old first wave detectorists I recon. I havnt found a silver one yet.. found another 1950 one yesterday... I always think its a 50c piece before cleaning them.
ReplyDeleteThe Half Crown is probably my favorite NZ coin and I was kind of shocked when I found them, really didn't expect to find any, not for a long time, though I haven't found any since.
ReplyDeleteThe beach I'm hunting has a lot of work being done to the banks and judging from old photos that's where a lot of old timers used to sit and picnic. Before the work the banks looked undetectable, thick bush and scrub, so I'm guessing a lot of the old stuff is still there, well hopefully.
