After spending the last few weeks under the clothes line finding mostly one and two cent pieces I decided to try the local beach with my 5 year old son.
We got to the beach to find someone else with the same idea, just my luck I thought so we jumped back in the car and headed off to the next beach.
My son got bored pretty quick so I buried a few coins for him to dig up and told him what ever he digs up he can spend at the shop.
That kept him entertained for about 10 minutes then I turned around to see him wet up to his knees in his school shoes, well wasn't I going to be in trouble.
After digging up the usual rubbish We found our first coin it was a 1971 50c piece in a depth of about 8 inches.
We got half way along the beach and something caught my eye in the grass.
There it was a 50 dollar note I couldn't believe it.
After a bit of a argument on who's it was my son suddenly got thirsty, cold, hungry and needed to go to the toilet, turned out it wasn't the case he just wanted to spend the $50 on toys and off to the toy shop we went.

Well I would have said,, "It's a 50/50 split"
Then I would have handed him the 50 cent piece,, lol
Thanks for sharing a great story.
Congrats on your finds.
