Good chance this was lost in 1951.

I wish they all came out of the ground like this.



I only rinsed the fresh dirt off with water, and you can still see the newly minted shine.



Thanks for looking.

Good condition would indicate lost recently.

Just good soil I'd say, this place hasn't been used since the sixties.
And the pre-decimal system ended in Aus in the mid sixties.
