What do you do with your finds? Do you sell them or collect them?
 

Hello all, thanks for your replies! I keep everything, but on my last holiday at the beach in, with the money I've detected over the past few months, I bought myself a new snorkle and mask, ($70.00) a dive knife ($62.00)and wet suit shoes ($46.00) to go under my flippers. So the detector pays for a few luxuries! I keep most of the rings, but sometimes sell a bit of silver to a guy I know who owns and antique and book shop!

Great finds, Angela! Just out of curiosity, when did Australia stop minting silver coins?
 

Hello Waco Kid, Australia stopped making silver coins around 1966, when the round 50 cent piece had a % of silver content, and the currency changed from pre-decimal to decimal. Prior to 1945 silver coins were about 90% silver content, after that date, the content dropped to 50%. Most of our silver looking coins contain a mixtur of zinc, nickle and copper.
