An enjoyable hunt, Darren, fine silvers! You'll find the '24 sixpence is VG/F/VF/EF 14/35/150/550. The biggie may be the '22 thrip, look closely if it's not a 21-22 overdate🤞, if you can see a "1" under the "2" it's a minimum of $5,500+. The shilling is 10/25/65/280... Although there's few coins fresh out of the ground that are EF "extremely fine" or better, gold has no trouble, some silvers survive incredibly well, a couple of your coin impressions, Daz, looked like you were holding the actual coins, so these, where the soil separates clear, leave the entire faces of the silvers free of tarnish or immovable blotches, we coin collectors call that "eye appeal". Damn hoping you've the overdate 1922 threepence, that would be worthy for the name of "Working 925"!! Good to hear you say your name, too, three times, as the host of the show, although it were for the good ladyship Michelle's insistence on filming everything, but it's the fear of maxing out the memory and deleting the wrong files, editing, afterwards. Doing great, liking seeing the target ID numbers and especially the infuriating falsing, but if the settings are right on iron bias, you can trust the combination of the detector AND the pinpointer to find the solid and not interrupted tone, what shits the amateur the most and causes giving up on sites and hesitance to go out and have another crack at it, the 100 pulltabs, 1c and 2c days! We'd rather a visit Silver City ourselves, after seeing this! Cheers again, from Gabi of Narre Warren.
@gabivalla6279 thanks for tuning in again Gabi. Nah unfortunately no overdate on the threepence 😭 double checking the irony targets that throw a high tone in amongst the grunts usually pay off 50% of the time I've found. I really should film every dig I don't usually film a lot of clips in the day anyway, so memory and editing can be kept to a minimum. 925 that's what I'm after 😂 cheers again.
Nice to see equinox at work! Godd luck bro! and Happy hunting with this great machine! Big support from your new friends and subs from southern Europe¨! from a metal detecting couple!
@i_dig_it_melbourne hey Dani, yeah I only dug that one target there 🤣 struggled to get out the last couple weeks but got a couple of vids in the bank now. Cheers 👍
As honest as the day is long, Darren, unsure of the meaning of the saying, as now the days are getting longer. We'd just been to the nephew's very new soccer training place in Clyde North, and the grounds would be next to zero chance of pre 2000 coins, no 1c & 2c, although under the plume of the Cranbourne Meteorite, chances of little meteorites, we'd love to find out those target ID numbers. Packed with people, 8am to 8pm, 8 days a week, it seems, places like this I'd reckon no one's detected for being too crowded all the time, I ought give our local one a swing, although it's been in use 100 years as a reserve, lots of various tinnie's ringpulls, and 1s and 2s, human, cattle, and bunnies, the kids love counting them along Ernst Wanke Drive, once the most famous of congestion spots on the Monash Freeway for drive radio announcers. The area's slow, no-indicator-merger drivers are thus truly Wankers. More happy swinging to you & the missus!
Hey Gabi, apparently that meteorite was an iron based one, probably would come up as a ferrous ID number on the detector. You'd probably dig a lot of old nails looking for one but how cool would it be to find a piece! Places like newish parks with heavy foot traffic are good for goldies and sometimes the odd pre decimal that has you scratching your head haha. Cheers for watching 👍
Well done Darren and Michelle. Those 1 & 2 cent coins are sent to test us,but at least you came home with a few pre decimals so it was a good day out.Cheers.
One's and two's everywhere and even the dogs are leaving there number two's around, and I reckon I'd put them all in the same category. I'm pretty happy if I can bring at least one pre dec home with me, I don't feel as though the day has been wasted then! A bit of Silver, a Brittania and lunch delivered on the the job, sounds like a good day to me! Your spoilt! Cheers Darren!
@waynearmstrong5233 haha hey Wayne, yeah I do get it pretty good. The first silver that comes out I usually say to myself "well that made it worth it" haha. And no matter where we go those brown buggers are everywhere and the 1 and 2c coins 😂 Thanks for watching mate 🤝
Well done Darren on another video ,like the dog tag ,looks like you and Michelle had fun even though the two & ones kept following you around. Always enjoy watching your videos. Cheers
@walterscrap767 hey thanks for watching, I appreciate the support. I think no matter where we dig, those little buggers are there haha. Yeah the dog tag was the most interesting find for sure. Thanks again.
Fantastic hunting @Working 925 detecting and family😊 The old cricket buckles were coming out left right and centre at this site! Sure to be another there. I can't believe we all missed that big old token signal too! Well done Michelle on the 600👏👏 Thanks for sharing guys. I can't wait to see the next adventure very soon🙂🙂⛏️
Yeah pretty awesome hunt this one, sure to be more there. There was actually 2 tokens we missed haha. Thanks for watching mate. We'll be sure to have you and your family on the next trip up 👍
Great Vid Darren and what a great permission to get on. Congrats to you all and so nice to be able to share this time with your wife and stepson. Keep digging that history.
@malcolmkeene2115 thanks Malcolm, it sure was a great weekend with the fam. Some great finds and plenty more to go I reckon. The wife is keen to go back there so look out for another vid from this location 👌
Hey Gabi thanks for tuning in 👍 Gee whiz it would have been amazing back then to be one of the first to have a metal detector, must have been potatoes everywhere that the old timers missed with their eyes. Im not sure of the cricket history there but i reckon that house site must have bred a team of their own 😂 Thanks Gabi.
Belter of a site, Darren, and Michelle and Aiden! Their "firsts" were bucket-list of the highest order, but fancy and mint, as were yours. Her suspender buckle may have been for overalls, with the adjustment catch, we're remembering ours we wore as a kid in the seventies, this winter is reminding us of those earliest days, learning about the gold rushes, they'd be reporting the rivers and creeks in flood, historical towns you'd remember the next time they'd flood, face bushfires, find amazing relics, like American gold coins, or when detecting surged starting in the late 70s, we had our own red K-Mart ones!, which old diggings were producing giant golden potatoes of nuggetry. That site, with the track curving past it, looks the ideal cricket pitch, there'd have been a big-top tent, kind you see on some buckles with bowling happening, it'd be in the background, looking like a circus tent, ideal for a barrel of beer to tap! There'd be visitors from elsewhere, and over time, if the newspapers might have reported any cricket carnival events, or you'll dig up an item that'll have writing that may say a lot in a few words. I have that ability but aren't exercising it here, but goodonya Daz! Good on the landowner, they'd be bowled over learning about the site, and knowing it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for your explanation it was specifically your passion for history through the relics that you're after! (But you'd hope to dig a golden potato anyway, it'd be a giant target that the pinpointer won't pulsing-grunt iron back at you. Here's to optimistic wishful thinking!🥔🪙 🤠⛏️) Cheers to you Daz & Co.! Gabs, Narre Warren. (Troup's Creek West. The flooding will dislodge bottles from their dump sites from kilometres uphill, the area drained for farming 1841-1843 by largely Scottish, German and Aboriginal "navvies", as such digging back in the UK were for navigation canals, embankments both sides of the creek, and we've still the hawthorn or mayberry hedges(Mayblooms used to be Hawthorn footy team's nickname), hedges that used to define land enclosure, since 1841. You'll know them when you see them in the landscape despite the suburbs in turn enclosing them! I'll ask if they're used in your neighbourhood, good visual cue when you're looking from a satellite view on Google Maps, if that's part of your research. 😉)
@MrPaulie1456 hey Paul thanks for watching mate. It's such a pleasure to use and once you've used a machine long enough you get to know it like the back of your hand.
What an excellent hunt! For everyone! Me included! It looked for a while there that Michelle was going to leave you in the dust with her finds, Well done! Aiden's beautiful early Shilling what a ripper of a first find, and in such great condition! You must have really pulled the stops out to catch up, and boy did you catch up! Your first Snake buckle! Congrats, your beating me by one. And those brilliant cricket buckles, why is there so many there! It blew me away, when you joined that buckle together, it was an Oh Wow! Moment for me! And you didn't miss out on your own token. And the sun was shining! A hunt to be envious of! And I am! Cheers Mate, Top stuff, Film every dig! You never know! Hooroo!
Definitely my best hunt on the relics wayne that's for sure. Maybe I subconsciously stopped filming coz I had the s**ts I was getting left behind?😂 Maybe they had so many children that they started a cricket team 😅 We all had a great weekend of finds and I think I was pretty lucky to find the other half of the buckle on the last morning. Thanks for watching 💎
That's a great permission you ,Michelle and Aden got onto there Darren with some awesome old finds coming up.Well done.Thanks for sharing. Cheers mate.
@MrPaulie1456 yeah so do I paul. Yeah park 2 is better for lower conductors such as small coins or coins on edge, lower recovery speed for a bit more depth.
Well done Darren and Luke.More brown buggers you find this time is less to dig up next time......perhaps? Congrats on the pre decimals and Luke smashed it on the silvers.Well done and thanks for sharing.Cheers mate.
@DetectingOz Hey Gazza, haha yeah mate I reckon there's still plenty of bb's there too. Yeah he had a great day, hopefully still a few pre decimals left behind also. Thanks for watching.
The only good thing about finding one and two cent pieces is... Umm! Hang on, Give me a minute to think about it... Nah! Ive got nothin! Still some good stuff there, thank god! Just thought of something RE: those little brown buggers! The more you find, the less there is! Aaaand! That still doesn't make me feel any better about them! Cheers Mate!
Good range of silvers, getting better depth in Park 2 or is it the moisture, but slower recovery rate would add to sensitivity, winning ways. Accurate digging, and you don't lose fingers to the unfired cordite rounds, Daz?! Are there food and drinks kiosks where the sloshed drop their goldies? Happy swinging from Gabi of Narre Warren.
@gabivalla6279 hey Gabi, thanks for watching. I was trying to see if I could hit on small deeper silver in park 2, got a little more depth but maybe just due to the recovery speed. Nah still got all my fingers mate haha. Pretty sure there was never any sort of kiosk or clubrooms there. It's more of a community oval and not a home ground for a sporting club. Cheers again Gabi.
@i_dig_it_melbourne hey Dani, yeah he had all the luck that day. A lot of military history all through that area back in the day so there was probably training areas scattered around hence the bullets.
