      Working inside of a jail is testing my nerves, I feel like a prisoner lol,
      No phone no technology like an Apple Watch and have to go through a security check every morning,

      and a frisk incase I might take some contraband inside 😞, it’s degrading..

    Hey Jim mate. 👋🏻😃 Nice commonwealth to start and then plenty more rounds from the ground. That little coil is a real sniper!! 👍🏻 Hope you’re doing well my friend. 😊 Thanks for sharing, take care and be lucky. 🇦🇺🥂🇬🇧 😃👍🏻

      Hello Deano, thank you mate
      It’s always good to find a few left over coins thousands of people have missed over the years, detecting has become a popular pass time for thousands of people,
      I’d detect fields but I don’t have permission,
      and it’s mostly bush and hit and miss on finds,
      so it’s park land and curb strips where I’ve had most of my finds,
      Hope your doing great brother,
      Take care 👍🍻

      Thank you Rob, I started using the 11 inch I couldn’t even pinpoint with it, it’s just full of all kinds of metal, even foil,
      The six inch made it a little easier,
      But the flooding is crazy at the moment, some towns are expecting to be hit by floodwaters tomorrow down stream, it hasn’t rained for two days but more coming this Thursday,
      and it won’t get better till Monday next week,

    Nice video, Jim. You commented that silvers are getting hard to find these days in Melbourne. Pretty much the same thing in Sydney. I run the Nox 800 with the standard coil. May one day give the 6 inch a go.

      I could never detect a nature strip by the side of the road, Jim. What I do, though, is only go out at night to hit the parks. Very early mornings on s Sunday used to be well worthwhile a few years back for dollars in the Sydney CBD parks, but with the lack of tourists and the fact that fewer people are carrying coins these days, that's not worth it anymore. I just go for the pre-decimals now. Not worth anything, but good fun.

      Hello brother I wish 😞,
      Unfortunately no I don’t,
      Nothing that old here and I don’t know anyone that can give me permission ,
      It’s very rare that anyone would knock down any house here, strange I know but people usually just extend on to the house rather then knock it down and start over,
      plus Australia was settled in 1788 ,
      most that settled were convicts with ball and chain, they didn’t loose much but skin lol 😂,
      that’s why most of my oldest find’s are usually from the middle of 1850s
      when most were free men and women that slowly started settling the country.
