Yeah mate that's right :)

Will have to speak up in the future and also make sure the lens is water / drop free after its been submerged. Was just a few tests and this had a find and turned out well enough to upload.
 
Ok, so its been a long time since I've had the car and transport to get out n about but today I got to sqeeze in 4 hours.
Very heavy bush overgrowth here, I've come back a bit scratched from the run..I guess that's why I have the happy face in photo 1.
Photo 3 is an old painting of what this site once looked like and now pretty lost in time.

Photo 2 shows an old one man saw and some teeth were still visible, but too frail, so it got left with the rest I didn't bring home. Plenty of screaming iron, most targets from where it seems the back door of a house probably, the angle of the rubbish pile telling the story.

So lots of general house goods like pots n pans and cups..left most but brought back a silver spoon and fork so I'm all set for tea-time, an odd little badge type thing with tiny yellow gems. Not sure what its made of at all or the gems but they are clear ( and falling out! ) an assortment of some shells about, one live, and my first button. I don't know what the iron hoop is with stanless or silver oval plate on it.

Coins:
1927 penny
1948 hapenny
3 x three pence: 1963, 1941 and an early 1926 which is a design I havnt found yet ( emu + kangaroo )
1921 six pence - I think this is my first six pence find as well. Nice n early again

Nice work AR! some pretty cool finds. I love the old photo of the old dwelling, its good fun piecing history together and speculating what they were upto back in the day, the photo gives some real insight :D
 
A bit hard to see the painting at all, but there's a few houses and a waterwheel. It makes me wonder why the place got destroyed. All the bricks are still there and tin roof etc, no fire damage.. more looks like a bobcats been in there pushing dirt years ago if anything a little bit.

I forgot to mention you can see next to the cup a iron container, it 'may' be an ink thingy as I also found an old paint tin with 20 colors and a wooden base, but it all fell apart in my hands
 
Its certainly not easy out there Sandta.. the forrest trees wernt the only tall things falling over. I've scratched the surface here. Lots more to go, but it just gets even denser. Machete time!

Cheers rocketaroo, 1921 supposibly from the text
