hi there,good going on the coin finds,if you want to find really old coins go and check out the real old churches in your area,you will be surprised,good luck.

@nzdigger1 yeah, haven't tried any churches, I'll have to give it a go.. there everywhere.

@Kramer3278 thanks Karl, how are the aftershocks..

Really interesting what you can find in a paddock.

@bthom68 Aftershocks are slowing down.. but we had a 5.0 the other night which startled everyone..

well done on finding your first 1800s coin. I think your theory of finding the 1800s coins in the smaller towns is a good one, i have found afew here and out towns arnt that big, certainly much much smaller than Aucks. From memory at school we used to do surf casting practice on the fields with a sinker attached insted of a lure, so thats one theory as to why you found a sinker on that field

@Kramer3278 Thanks.. now what another good challenge, spose we could try for an older one... or an 1800s one in Auckland.
