Old Park + New X-Terra = Goodies

[Kiwijohn]

While the Ace250 served me well, I decided on a recent trip to Australia to upgrade
to an X-Terra 705. I gave the Ace to my son who lives in Melbourne Aust.
Back home I have been eyeing a park that looked like a good prospect to hunt.
It was extablished in the 1860's, and from old photos it has not changed much.
So off I went with the new X-Terra...

The age of this park was evident straight away with the old coins I was finding. My
oldest half penny..

These three coins, were in one hole. They are early NZ coins and made of silver.
NZ did not have it's own coins until 1933.

Next up was an unusual silver ring. I thought it was junky at first, but after cleaning
it revealed '925 Finland'. The balls are loose and retained with little spring things.


Here is the total take, including another funny pipe (thats 3 I have found recently)
Two more junk rings, about $11 in useable coins, old army button.

I will be going back..

Thats not much different then what we find in our parks here in the U.S.
its pretty cool seeing what comes from parks in other countries.

I'm starting my second summer with the Xterra 705 and I love it. Haven't found anything as great as your stuff, mind you, but I'm still hoping.
