There will be a layer of sand and crumbled zinc on the floor when they remove the coinstar machine here. lolol. I've used some automotive polish by hand to put a shine on a few higher denomination coins that I've spent in person. It works well but more trouble then its worth probably. Yeah - we have some coinstar machines, but they're taking ridiculously high charges + you can only get vouchers for the shop the machine is located in. Nobody wants to have coins these days, as it seems. After a long research, I've found a bank, which has coin machines and doesn't charge you for dumpig your coins. I've washed another 3-4 drums, and the new gasket design seems to work perfectly. No leaks, easy to open.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Been out two times last week. Boy, those damn junkers.. At first I thought I've found something good, but it shouldn't be.. Find of the week: It's a 1940 german navy button. What a great condition for a beach find! That thing rings up with a 33-35 on the equinox. You seldom get something in the 30s on the nox.. I often think, why it's going till 40 anyway 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alluminati Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I guess it says Kriegsmarine on the top? That would be cool if it was from the wolfsrudel. It's right around the time when they scrapped plan Z and started building U-boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found another one on the same beach from 1939, but the top is totally eaten away. There's a picture of the back in this thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 2,5h on the beach yesterday. There weren't many targets left. ~10€ clad, but some 925 silver again : It came in at 30. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 My china parts have arrived. Not the nicest build, but it works just great - new tumbler version: I've brought my first 5kg of coins (~ 1030 pieces) to the bank today. Only one 1 cent coin not recognized Been out 2-3 times last week - no special finds. Broke trough the 1000€ barrier .. wow... but the beaches are pretty hunted out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 It's all cashed in - 1627 coins! I'm feeling coinless now 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal_Cobra Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I used to keep my dug U.S. nickles, dimes, quarters and one dollar coins in my car to give to the bridge toll trolls, all the cleaning they ever saw was a quick rinse off under a faucet - lol Most of the toll takers never complained, but a few off them did take a few seconds to realize that they were in fact U.S. coins - lol At $5 per bridge crossing, you can unload a lot of dug change ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Yeah, I did so with the parking meters. But since changing my job two years ago, I seldom need to pay for parking. I started to clean the coins, and used them for paying the baker at weekends (5-6€ per visit with 3 kids). This year, it has just been too much to Im still not sure if I'll buy a 3D printer, or save the money for some metal detecting investments.

Sinclair Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Had a little after-season spin yesterday at a beach I don't do very often. Find of the day: Other detectorist's Equinox Display cover .. not exactly what you want to find But luckily the other Equinox user didn't seem to know his / her machine really well, and / or didn't detect very thoroughly. I've found 22,70€, 2DM and 10 Escudos - very good, almost as if it had been a season hunt! I didn't care about all the silver coin on edge stuff.. but yesterday I've surprisingly dug a 1€ coin, that sounded like trash.. A quick test on the beach revealed, that the 1€ (and 2€) coins on edge in exactly 90° to the center of the DD coil, produce solid negative numbers I don't know if this has been the case with the original firmware or my old detector - I'll have to check that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
