A Couple Of Nice Old Coins

[Guessologist]

Got back to having a swing around my usual spots with the Nox 600 after a month's break, it's funny how targets grow back if you leave the area alone for a while:

Also picked up $6.50 in modern coinage in one spill which in a way was more unusual than the old pennies - not much modern action in this old gold-mining area so pre-decimal coinage is the order of the day usually.

Yeah the old bronze pennies are amazing with the way they hold up, and anecdotally it seems that the pre-1860 chunky copper British coinage weathers better than the more modern pre-decimal Australian coinage they are almost always in good condition.

The goldies were quickly converted into fundraiser chocolate bars at work...

Nice finds, glad to see someone else than Simon finding the good stuff.

Yes I know it's 2 different countries but still very nice finds.

I will be glad to get back out there hunting and swinging, but it seems to be raining every time I get a chance.
