On my 250, all I discriminate is the first two bars which only show iron. The foil and pulltabs get left for me to decide whether I dig them

[Coinjunky]

[Coinjunky]

So I took landuses idea and used it today , it helped allot , my first find was a gold chain necklace !! , then two very old coins . They so in crusted I can't see what they are , and the rest of the digs yielded bottle caps , pull tabs and sinkers , I'll post picks of my finds soon

Electrolysis can ruin coins if left too long. Great news on the gold too!!

Okay cool , and thanks gonna sit down tonight and Coleen the chain , I cleened up these two coins after electrolysis , they were so badly rusted and in crusted that they look like plane copper blanks , but I could just make out two sparrows and the 1 so they were once 1 cent coins haha

[James Kraft]

Sparrows and a 1 might not only be a 1 cent mate unless it is a coin minted from 1965 onwards. If it is older than 1965 it might also be a 1/4d (1/4 Penny or Farthing). What is on the front? Possible pic will help to identify also

[Coinjunky]

Sorry guys , iv been trying to post pics since last night , my blackberry won't let me will have to try with the computer later , but to answer jamesks question about what's on the back , well , there is no back its just worn awy copper

[James Kraft]

Here are images of the coins. The farthing , the half cent (1961-1964), half cent after 1964 and the 1 cent from 1965 onwards. Hopefully this will help. The key is in the direction the birds face together with the date if visible and the coin size.

[James Kraft]

The old folks used to say jokingly that from 1965 the people where so cross with each other that it carried over to the birds. From that point forward the two sparrows refuesed to face each other and turned their backs on each other......Lol..

[Coinjunky]

Thanks Jamesk , they are defenetly 1 cent coins , just wish I could see the date on them , but all that is visible on the one coin is the 1 and the c and I can just make out the two birds but other than there is nut hung left to read , but I'm loving the hobby so far , can't wait for the hunt with Shawn silver on sat afternoon , so amped , would be out digging right now but my dad just got out of hospital so IV got to look after him , and soon he's gonna join me metal detecting ,as he has always been interested in aswel
