    B*%#$%.....thought maybe someone found my two Bush Baby koalas and holders that I put on the roof of my car in their brown PM package yesterday!

    Needless to say they were not there when I finally remembered three hours later! Drove all the way back and checked the roads - nothing.

    Told partner and they did the same this morning even though I said not to worry. Wasn't until this afternoon that it was clarified that I had not lost the 50 oz of bullion I preordered, only $100+ of pink cheeked koalas!

    If anyone notices any koalas, plus holder, selling on ebay by someone who clearly has nothing else to do with PM and coins let me know! I think my name and address was on them so I'm hoping someone might post them! :D

    I was really surprised seeing that 1942 ASE on the Rundle street when travelling in Adelaide. Wondering how much it would worth....

    That is not an ASE, it is a Walking Liberty Half Dollar. 90% silver, approximately 0.3617 troy ounces of silver content. Nice find nonetheless.

    Metaphors hidden in this scenery, I'm almost sure ?

    What we need now is an incident involving a Junk and a Silver boat. :)

    So for those of us not familiar with the area, is this some sort of art concept? coins embedded in concrete? tourist area?

    if silver ever hits 500/oz it might be worth going there for a late nite jog.. with a chisel and hammer :p

    I am not sure why they embed those coins in concrete. Since lot of bars and restaurant on that street are having coins embedded on the path in front of their entrance, I guess they believe by doing this could bring them good fortune.
