Noodling finds

[Nevol]

Do I see a small bubble on the 2013 50c?

[Pedro]

No, I don't think so Nancy. It looks like it is a circular cud that has a ridge running up the middle that gives the impression of a donut at other angles.

Nice ones Pedro!  Great pics!  Do you use a Kaiser Baas scope?

Noodled some more coins yesterday, Friday and received a nice little surprise.

I found another Sir Douglas Mawson NCLT $1 .

That is the third I have found to date.

Do you use a Kaiser Baas scope?

No Uni, I have an el cheapo Chinese USB scope. Takes a bit of playing with and some shots work, others don't!

It looks to be doing the job fine Pedro. They are nice clear pics.

Further to my Bitten Edge find on Wednesday, 4/2/15, I also found three x AIATSIS and two x Incuse 50c pieces.

A nice haul.

I still have to go through 1,000 x $1 coins today.

[Nevol]

You're doing very well Goldy! :yahoo:

I just found a 1985 50¢. I am thinking these are at least as hard to pick up as incused -what say you Goldy?
And one AIATSIS (my third now).

Well I'm not Goldy but with 1985 50c we know they only minted 1m, but no-one knows how may Incused were minted, so of the two 1985 may very well be more difficult to find. :winkextra:

I was going to ask if anyone has found an AIATSIS, as I haven't so far, so thanks for answering my question before I asked it.

Only managed to get 1 okayish 97 today, but that's not bad considering I only noddle $10 to $20 each week, reading the forum I've seen much bigger sums being noddled by others.

Hope next week is better for me.

Hey, I only started off noodling about $50 at a time but over time was able to put a bit of spare cash towards my noodling requirements.  I now noodle $2,000 at a time, at least three times a week now.

Hang in there.   Your noodling cash will grow over time.

If you live near a big city/town that has poker machines with coins still being paid, one could noodle hundreds of coins a night for a poultry $20 in ones pocket.

EG.   When crown Casino had coins in their machines, I did an all nighter starting about 2130 hours and leaving around 0900 the next day and noodled a little under 19,000 coins for some/little return.   I was swapping $1,000 at a time.

Some great finds there Goldie!

Another sampling of 2014 50c errors:





Cuds around the Western point of the star:







Also managed to pick up another 1993 50c :yahoo:

Um, er, brag time me thinks.   Started to noodle the $1 coins I have here and found the following:



Makes my Mule stable to 40 found.

My last Mule was found on the 2 Aug 2010 and it took me 479,990 coins in between the last find and this one.

So they are still out there even if they are few and far between.

Another 50 game quick pick in the next super draw for lotto as a gift to the people that gave it to me.

I certainly has been a good week for noodling for me.

Congratulations Goldie!!! A well deserved week for your consistent efforts!! Top stuff!!!
Great pics Pedro, you're really coming up with the cuds and it's always nice to find a 93 ...... and well done to Jeff on the 85. Both are hard coins now!
