Big heavy silver sure is nice! This year it's been difficult getting out. Refurbishing our house since January. I have detected less than a half dozen times. Today I went to a new park for me, and not ten steps in a great tone, and solid 91-92 on the F75. Had to be good! Of course, it was tight up against the underside of a root about 4 inches down, and I had no idea what I had until the hard packed clayey sand was chiseled out.
Here's a couple pics with her on top of the root.![NCM_0204.JPG NCM_0204.JPG](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1446/1446748-a6e5ef5a8e36ba58764ce68f5edf6a56.jpg)

A better couple of shots with the coin rinsed off, then after soaking in boiling water and baking soda ( 6 cycles ).![IMG_3549.JPG IMG_3549.JPG](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1446/1446753-b32de6c4f0b028fa47dce0f473ce60f8.jpg)

She's in real good shape for her age.
A couple of weeks after we moved in, I managed to get a couple hours detecting around our house for the first time, and found this ( plus clad, of course, and trash, through a carpet of iron ). A "Holed" 1943 Australian Florin. Go figure. From what I found, these were .925 silver! The equivalent of about .30 to .35 cents U.S. at the time.![IMG_3555.JPG IMG_3555.JPG](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1446/1446808-00fb333a14b1b3137872d464f6bab4fb.jpg)

And last, a short trip to another park a couple months ago gave the usual clad, trash, and a couple of silver rings.![IMG_3558.JPG IMG_3558.JPG](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1446/1446887-05a722a4bc740d98704ef5622ab9a7c1.jpg)
Those are my finds worth showing for the year so far, plus about 10 bucks in clad.
Thanks for looking.
