April 13th - quick hunt with Grandchildren

At the park again, for a short hunt. Had a great start , the first three of four targets were spendable - $2 coin, two $1.00 and then a Head Prefect badge, which still had the pin attached to the back.
Then came the ring pulls and scrap until I came to another area which yielded quite a few old decimal coins and a silver - a 1943 Sixpence.
I checked another area on my way back to the car and quickly found $3.90 in spendable.
This detecting lark is quite amazing, you just never know whats around the corner.

Total for the hour - $7.90 spendable, $1.38 in old decimal,a nice 1943 silver sixpence and a Head Prefect Badge! Plus a bag of old can scrap, ring pulls etc. The spendable pile in the photo is minus $4.00 - two of my grandchildren received $2.00 each.
The sixpence was in great condition, however the photo was not quite in focus, and does not do it justice.

Footnote:
Was approached by an interesting character who had done some gold panning in the South Island. Showed him how the Xterra 705 discrimated between iron and coins etc.
He said he was going to call in to see Chris at Detect NZ and check out the range of Minelab products.
Maybe another detectorist in the making?
Till next time:-

Cheers
