So for my 1000th post on this forum, I though I’d like to share what I’ve found during the two weeks of my winter school holidays.
I found most of these relics and coins in public parks, however I did hunt an old demo-site which I saw across a park.
Overall, I found $193.96AUD ($144.57USD) in change (I know I’ve said this before, but those $1 and $2 coins add up really quickly, btw, you’d love it over here, ATPro Dude!)
I also found some other really cool coins and relics, including:
1951 Australian Penny (found at demo site, pictured)
1918 Threepence (great condition, pictured)
1921 Australian Half-Penny (pictured)
1910 British Half-Penny (pictured)
Silver threepence (no detail visible, pictured)
British Silver sixpence (date not legible, probably late 1800’s, pictured)
1877 British Penny (my oldest coin to date, pictured)
Religious medallion (silver, found at demo-site pictured)
‘City of Horsham’ button/badge (also found at demo-site, pictured)
Military Button with a coat of arms (also found at demo-site, pictured)
ARP Badge (also found at demo-site, pictured)
1962 ‘Malaya and British Borneo’ 1c coin
1971 English 1/2 New Penny
From top to bottom, the four coins in one of the pictures are the threepence, 1921 halfpenny, 1910 halfpenny and the sixpence
Sorry, only noticed now that some of the pictures are rotated, will fix next time

Nice work and its always good to see what you are up to Down Under! Half a World apart but getting along as happy as a pair of Bandicoots!
