Any More Treasures Here

Back to a familiar spot with the Manticore fitted with Mate coil, to see if any good stuff can be found in amongst the trash.

  • Really enjoyable Gary 😊 love the shorter grass!! Thanks for sharing. Good going over spots you’ve done with the nox. Cheers 🍻 Camille
  • Well done Gary. Congrats on the G3. Great find. I keep all my brass plugs. Some are rippers. Good luck when you get back out there. Take care mate 😁👍
  • What a way to finish the vid, I bet you weren't expecting a coin of that age, in that area, it's 50yrs older than my oldest silver, shame about the damage, But judging by your reaction, I'd say you have found quite a few around that era, very nice find! The plumbob type item reminds me of a curtain pull. Yep! I'd be getting back there before the grass gets hold of it again, it's so nice to swing wide without the interruption of heavy tufted grass! Cheers Gazza, great hunt!

    Hi Gary, l have found quite a few old English coins that had the monarch defaced. I've scored a few at the goldfields up here in North Queensland. I think that maybe the person that did it would more than likely been Irish as they have very little love of the English. Great video.

    Well done mate. The chain thingy looks like the one that was at the end of the chain on the overhead cistern for flushing the dunny.

    Nice 1 Gazza looks like nice sandy soil . Plenty of targets still. Love the old sixpence. I haven’t found 1 for ages lol.
  • Hey Gary, nice hunt, I sometimes wish I could burn the grass like this on some sites 😂 that was a nice old silver 208 years old 😅 I wonder if that damage was done around the dates of the coins you have been finding or maybe there’s older history in this spot too 🤔 It looks like they put it on a anvil or something (just noting the flat raised spots on the other side) it looks like the “5” pattern on a dice 🎲🤔 hopefully there’s still some more treasures yet to come from the site 👍🏼

    Great going, Gary, on the George 3! Yours is only the third I've seen that could be called "chopmarked", Guy @The Gold Rush Guy had an 1817 G3 shilling with the letter "M" punched into George's forehead. That video was 2013 vintage! Recently @The History Digging Kangaroo, William had an 1820 in great condition, features a Chinese character chopmarked to his neck! Unsure why there'd be five chops to yours, but it was a merchant or trader's verification, and could have happened anywhere in the world, the Chinese marks done in China, how some early British coins ended up here, not with Brits but the Chinese! The coin dealer, Mark Nemtsas of "The Purple Penny" in Mawson Lakes, Adelaide, wrote about and showed a Lima, Peru 1710 8 Reales that had a good dozen chopmarks, Chinese, Burmese, Templar, on each side! Sufficient to say they're rare, tells of international trade ages ago, and are highly sought, but exceptionally scarce! Cheers from Gabi of Narre Warren ✌️🪙⛏️
