Local Sportsground Metal Detecting Finds
Stubbs Park Sporting Pavillion - Dumbleyung
Today I decided to do a bit of coin shooting at my local sportsground – Stubbs Park – Dumbleyung.
Stubb’s Park is probably around 80 – 90 years old give or take a few years, and has been put to great use in those years, ranging from many sporting activities, such as Horse racing, Horse Trots, Australian Rules Football, Netball, Hockey, Cricket, Tennis and much more. The park is also used for our towns annual show, the Dumbleyung Gymkhana, so there is plenty of reasons to go there and hunt for lost coins.

Unfortunately the ground is rock hard there, and most of it has been cover in bitumen and tar, so finding coins was rather hard.
But I did find a couple of nice old coins, and a few bucks worth of dollars.
This is what I found today.

- 1953 Australian Shilling
- Numerous Modern Day Australian Coins
