G'day everyone!

I'm really excited to share my next video with you! This video will be quite a bit different to our usual format, and I think you'll all really love what I have in store for you! This new format, however, is taking a lot longer than I had planned to put together, polish, and produce. Because of this, I'm going to push the release back a little until the video is 100% ready.

Watch this space, or follow our Youtube Community page, for the video release date announcement!

See you soon!

It's time to reveal our mystery coin!

The hints provided were: the coin is slightly larger than a Half Penny, but smaller than a One Penny. It's made of bronze, just like a Penny.

After some gentle cleaning, I can now reveal that it's an 1863 traders token from D T Mulligan of Rockhampton. D T Mulligan operated as a general store and draper before being assimilated into other local businesses.

I'm very happy to add this one to the collection!

Be sure to join us for the video premiere this Wednesday, April 23rd to see what else we found! You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/dkIodUp5yv0?si=hCYitJWvnSShsd8C

It's Mystery Coin time!

Can you help me identify this coin? It was found during a recent hunt, but it's size has me stumped! I originally thought it was a Half Penny, but after getting it home and comparing it, I found it's too large. It's also too small to be a normal One Penny. It has the same approximate thickness as both pennies. It appears to be exactly 28mm in diameter.

As yet the coin has not been cleaned, and I'll be going easy on it just in case it ends up being something rare or valuable!

Speaking of rare, I also found another lovely little find in the same location. If you're one of your Youtube channel members, you'll see a post on our community page sharing that lovely bucket-lister! (Join here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoAsc_wAAk4pfPEm0WslgfQ/join)

Let me know what you think this coin might be!
