Thanks. As mentioned in a previous reply, I have already found half a pair of wool shears, wire dog chain, handle to something, buckle which by size I am guessing came from a saddle or similar. Plus some other bits I cannot identify, one looks like a big steel peg, the others (very corroded)...

It's a bit odd. No one (to my knowledge) has ever bothered with looking for anything here, with the exception of the old bottle shop (bottle collectors) have had a crack at it a few times over the years that I am aware of. I can remember as kids we dug it up and found some old bottles with the...

Wasn't aware of that. What is actually classed as a relic? Because I have done an initial detect and dug a few items :argh:

Thanks for the tips. As for doorways, I have no idea of the layout of the old building. Only thing remaining visible is a single line of stone foundation, which sits on the road side of the fence. This foundation could have being from the pub itself out out-buildings etc. Once it stops raining I...

Previous owners all reside in the local cemetery these days. And sadly it is the same deal with most of the older generation who would have had some idea. This was near on 200 years ago, so finding someone with good knowledge of it is going to be a long shot.

Gidday; (This was also posted to another forum, thought I would try here as well as this is more active) Our family property was the epicentre of a rather large township, 800 plus people once called it home, back in the 1850's (and possibly earlier). One of the few paddocks that has not being...

Doesn't hurt to do another few runs over, even if your taking notes there still might be something you miss, or a post further down the thread might spike your interest about a previous post you didn't pay much attention to. I tend to copy all posts with info into a text file then delete the...

As for the paper aspect, when I had one of these (I soon got rid of it!) I found the paper was best placed into a container/bucket and buried quickly thereafter. If your in dry regions where there is little rainfall, dig a hole, burn it and then cover once burnt or it won't break down...

Welcome Maxi, your not all that far from me as the crow flies. When I get my machine maybe we can meet up one day and dig some ground, got a few spots in mind I would like to have a crack at.

I can see Dave's point of view here, although I am not sure if the shows attract 'new' prospectors. Maybe there would be an influx in 'weekend warriors' who head out with their ALDI or sub $500 detectors and have a bit of fun, or for the fun of the kids. The other side of the coin is more...

Well no song list would be complete without this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTjvG4WJD_A And this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnAgc1kgvLc Not the video I was looking for but same song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB2fhqO2Mb4 Change oil to gold :)...

This actually would not surprise me at all, if they located it and kept mum on it. I got the USB from NT Gov a week ago, and in the pack it states that sites of historical significance cannot be prospected/mined - I am no A Grade historian, although I am going to take a fair stab if someone...

Nice, well done. I hope your not going to make your spot front page news.

Maybe try approaching the nearest house where you plan to prospect, in country areas almost everyone knows everyone, or at the very least who owns what patch of grass. People at the nearest house would most likely be able to point you in the right direction.

Some nice old coins there, love em.

Just an update to the maps. I am going to make up a page on my site for all the maps, which will include (where available) park notes etc. If anyone wanted to submit maps or relevant files to be added to the downloadable list they are more then welcome to do so. If there is enough interest I am...

I searched for the original thread where I had found the post relating to weighing coins to test scales accuracy, but it has done a Lasseter on me and is unable to be located :o After seeing a thread here in regards to scales, having purchased scales from eBay only days prior before seeing the...

Correct, listed on ebay US, and the seller is US based. Unless I have my numbers wrong I thought the AT Max Pro, which is what I think this is was going for around $1300 AUD. This thing is $895 AUD + $95 AUD post. As for the feedback 100% is as good as your going to get BUT.... It is all for...

I love watching AGH, and I have to say (in the show at least) they do look after the areas they prospect in and get pretty cranky if they come across a area where people have left rubbish etc - not sure if that's for the cameras or how they really are, I am going to guess the latter. From what...

There is a few, very few spots around the Mafeking area, but most fall on private or NP land. In Moyston you might be lucky enough for someone to allow you to detect. There is a track leading towards Mt William from near Pomonal, I am not sure where the NP boundary starts though. My Internet...
