Early Gold Rush Coins and Relics

14 Dec 2013

Had a once in a lifetime hunt in the Victorian Goldfields with the CTX 3030 finding a dozen silver coins. Given how hot the ground is the CTX 3030 is the only machine that I would rely on to get these great targets. Also have these finds logged as find points for future hunts. Finds included: King George III: 1818 Half Crown, 1816 Shilling, 18XX Shilling, 1817 6P, 18XX 6P King George IV: 1826 Shilling, 1829 Shilling King William IV: 18XX 6P, 1835 3P Queen Victoria: 1845 Shilling, 1844 6P, 18X2 6P, 18XX 6P King George V: 1916 Shilling So other finds included a Williams Gold Office Token from EagleHawk: http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/items/60851/token-1-penny-j-w-g-williams-ironmongers-drapers-eaglehawk-victoria-australia-circa-1858  

Also an East India Company one cent 1845 ( http://coinquest.com/cgibin/cq/coins?main_coin=7349 )and a very worn KGIII half penny (probably 1806). One of the really nice relics was a clock winder that was also a working compass (gilded in gold).
