My new favounites. A complete "Texan Junior" cap gun which was a bucket list item for me and an 1807 Halfpenny, my oldest coin so far.

UUMM yeah don't know what to say. :8
Thanks Rocket. Enjoy your company too. Funny thing is I quite enjoy detecting alone and never looked for a partner in crime. I met up with Rocket because he wanted someone to detect with. Really enjoy it now. Sharing the excitement of a find as you dig it is pretty cool. Ya make a mean Coles mini pizza too.

Hmm, was I drunk this morning? Bloody Florin finger, steals all my silvers lol

Detecting alone is fun and has its advantages, though I think I'm due for a detecting partner in the not too distant future to share the hobby with. I have a club hunt coming up tomorrow, so it should be fun to have a detect with some other coin shooters for a change, rather than mumbling to myself all the time.

Hopefully I will come up with some new favourite finds.

Hi all, my favourite would be the 18K Buckle ring, but my wife (my biggest supporter-very important) thinks either the 9K Garnet ring or the 18K and Platinum Trilogy ring. Cheers.

 

[Ramjet]

Both lovely rings. Tough call to pick a fav.

P.O.W. CAMPS COIN...these were minted to use only in the internment camps and soon as the war was over they were melted down. These are rare coins and worth a nice sum of money.
Found this one out in the country the camp was well and trully overgrow with bush and verry difficult to swing the detector,i was the only one to have found a coin. Been back a few times now without any luck..

 

[Sandta]

Very cool indeed

I got sucked into doing some baby sitting today so got the camera out.

My favorite finds? mmm?

I love my miners picks and chisel (which I still use) and will restore the picks one day.

 

[Goldpick]

The picks are still in good nick, good enough to be reused. Thanks for sharing them.

Then there's the telescope and magnifying glass. I found the telescope and a mate found the magnifying glass. There was a bit of arguing as to whether we both keep one each or whether one person keeps both. After a few beers that night I ended up with the magnifying glass for a carton of beer. I have a strange feeling that it's a set of 3 and I am missing another piece.

And what I think is my best find to date!
While driving along the Big river to Jamison road (20 years ago) on a fishing/prospecting trip I looked back over my shoulder and saw a ridge sticking out. There was nothing there but I always looked out for old sites and thought to myself that it may have been an old home site so grabbed the detector and had a quick scan. Sure enough heaps of old rusty nails were on the ground and nothing else. The home had probably burnt down. A sparkle in a tree caught my eye and there it was hung up on a nail in a falling apart burnt leather case. The compass part doesn't work. But I did a bit of research and the arrow means it's military officers from WW1.

 

[Blindbat]

I detected that site where I got the compass 25 years ago with a crappy detector. For anyone wanting to have another go at that site;
Travel from Big river crossing towards Jameison and I think it was after the lookout keep an eye out on your right/the high side. The ridge unlike most others has been cleared at the end where the building was. You will know you have found it by detecting the nails.
Good Luck
