I was detecting with my buddy Schweddy at his friends parents house recently and found this 1938 New Guinea one shilling sterling silver coin. Rang up like a silver quarter on the Etrac so I was a little surprised to see this pop out instead! The funny thing is Schweddy found a 1936 about five years ago and said he never thought he’d see another one come out of the ground. More than likely brought home by a serviceman after the war but the homeowner had no idea who or when that would’ve been. Must’ve been lost just before she moved in in the late 40’s. Also found the ‘42 Merc and the play money token. Schweddy added a Merc, Rosie, and a silver Washington quarter to his collection as well as a number of wheats for both of us. My oldest was a 1916D.
