<p><strong>Hi, I have been detecting for about 18 months,</strong> I don't get time to do as much as I would like so I often take my X-TERRA 705 in the car so when the chance is there to sneak in some detecting, I take it. I had to take my wife to a physio appointment in Sydney so whilst I was waiting for her I got my X-TERRA 705 out of the car and decided to detect a city park. I only had about 40 minutes and well I got under way and was not having any luck, just finding junk targets. Well my luck changed when I got a hit and dug about 6 inches in soft dark soil. I saw the glint of silver and was lucky enough to find a florin. Well I had never found a florin before and was quite excited so I ran the X-TERRA 705 over the hole again and to my surprise I found another two florins and a shilling all in the same hole. I'm guessing back in the day someone sat just there and the coins spilled from their pocket. (2 x 1942, 1 x 1922 florins and 1 x 1943 Shilling)</p>[split] <p>Well my luck didn't stop there I continued detecting for a bit when I got another hit about 2 metres from the first hole and dug up the 'Erskine' plate. At first I didn't know what it was but after some research it turns out 'Erskine' were a motor vehicle distributed with Studebaker in Melbourne in the 1920's. The plate was attached by the dealer to the firewall of Erskine vehicles.
