Hi - New member

[bjacoins]

Hi all,

I am a new member, I collect Australian predecs and some bullion issues (member of silver stackers). I started collecting years ago when I took up metal detecting and started to find my first silvers, since then I have started to expand my collection.  I look forward to talking coins with you all and hopefully learning a bit as well.  

Cheers

Brad

Hi Brad,

Welcome to ACF.
Great to have you here.

Hello and welcome.

To atart the ball rolling, what are your most recent purchases?

[Goldseeker]

Welcome from  coin  collector and ex metal detectorist.   What was your first find with a detector?

[bjacoins]

Thanks all for the welcome.

First find, that was a long time ago, would have been a two cent or something simlar, first predec was a toasted penny, I was proud of that one.  First silver was a threepence 1942.  Since then I find a few silvers most times I go out.  Its all about the thrill and that potential next signal...

bjacoins:   My first coin was a halfpenny.  Since then I have detected over/around 28,000 coins and ended up with a mass of pre decimal silver and I have thrown at six ice cream containers of halfpennies and pennies onto/into the now defunct Sunshine tip.

Have you found any nuggets?

[bjacoins]

Hi PP, is it you or Mark on Silver stackers?

Goldseeker - i also have the a bucket of toasted 1d and halfs, was actually thinking of getting some delft clay and casting them into something.  I still prefer to dig them then the pockets of ones and twos...

Found a few nuggets when I lived in Vic with a 4500, I am now in SE QLD so I dont get a chance for gold.

Yet to find a Sov, got a Very worn Gothic Florin last week though.
