Found my best coin in 2008 after or during seawall restoration, they really dug up the beach that year and all kinds of things turned up. IMG_0379.JPG IMG_0381.JPG

awesome to find a gold coin, my only hope will be in gold sovereigns - I hope to find one someday. must be the luck of the Irish - some of my family came to Oz from Cork in 1835.
