My wife and I had a good day out with the relic machines recently, weather and covid jabs notwithstanding. Some old photos had given me some areas to try out and after dialing the etrac in on ring pulls and foil, coins started to show up. BB’S at first, but a good sign, then the predecimals. My wife joined in the fun with her Nox and ended up with a swag of coins. All in all, nearly 30 coins found, 15 being predecimals. Personal faves were the florin which cleaned up a treat and the Brit farthing which is not common. Happy hunting! ![20210911_192214](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/c9b9fb05b833b0796dfba0dadd1ebb9b23aa9201.jpeg) ![20210911_192336](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/92c66daa0a56260d3830bffb4e8af6b1f8cf2cfe.jpeg) ![20210911_192456](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/5530a35ce3672f449f01eda6ea36a011b81ab85a.jpeg) ![20210911_100403](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/b7b32caaf79b3b6138b2cfdf0a2ced1435f94730.jpeg) ![20210911_100409](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/7b2f38142fc46ccd75af67edb695e1725f95f2b0.jpeg) ![20210911_192700](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/89f328e67377e9248680b33333120678cb4ada2e.jpeg) ---

Well done finding a spot that still has that many coins . Farthings are a hard to come by coin 👍 . Your silvers have cleaned up very well . ---

Thanks Curt, It was more good fortune than planning I suspect, but again proves the point about getting that coil on the ground! Yes, rather suprised and pleased with the farthing, the silvers I just rubbed with bicarb paste Cheers ---

Nice finds. I think the silver is all 925. The florin is the same age as me eh, eh. ---
