Found this down at the local goldfield creek detecting yesterday. Any clues? Its green like copper oxidation but also looks gold plated.. so its probably brass. No clue what its off, just bigger than a 10c coin. Only thing worth taking home from this trashy location
I've still got to catch up the bags...

Looks a lot like the piece Goldpick found last night
Does have a similar appearance being a small detailed object. I'm thinking mine is broken off a delicate bowl and it could have had this pressed pattern all over.
At the same time it could be a pendant..good luck charm.. etc. The area I found it is an old miners dump. Pairs and pairs of shoes n bottles scattered everywhere throughout the ferns and muddy flow

It does look very similar, although much smaller. Mine has the same construction, pres copper with gold gilding. I could imagine there would be all sorts lying around those dumps, might be some old fob watches mixed amongst the "junk" if you are lucky. 
I do have one watch..unsure of anything with it. Ill be posting it when I catch up on my findings through this threadGoldpick said:It does look very similar, although much smaller.

could be a bit of a metal filigree bottle, just a guess, google search shows similar designs and stuff.
I think I've collected all my finds bags for the past few months from around the house n car. I'm sure there's a few more. Anyway, I've got a lot to post in here and catch up on :lol:
Ill just start to run through what I've collected so I can clean the lot in one go after I've posted. All of these finds have been found with either an old Whites GOLDMASTER 6100-D or using a Eureka Gold, discriminator, fast, normal, sens 1/2, volume half, 60hz.
This was todays effort at a park with very large wide based oak trees at least 3m wide with concrete bridges surrounding the park. My return to this spot will be more rewarding than todays taste. Constantly I was talking with the crowds as it was the first time alone. No one concerned at all and two brothers scored a couple of dollars too 'helping' me out.

Most exciting thing I had today was removing the massive nails from the fresh tambark, which is always a relief to me.

I better share this because we all like silver. Found yesterday on the ground at the servo as I refueled. Has been run over a few times so not worth chasing an owner

Ahh..this is why the park was soo clean today! This was a few weeks ago, same park with massive trees but I also remember me and my partner had a fun day detecting. We hit 6 parks I think around the town and a train station which was too hard to dig into. So this was the days work:

Takes a bit of dedication and concerted effort when doing catchup posts,.... I find myself still digging while doing that, and it stretches out even more,... till at last it all becomes current, with a sigh of relief.Amazing how many nails can turn up at school.
And you're saving a few feet in the process as you are cleaning up AR,... and the petrol money and PDs are coming in alright too.
I like the ring and square nails too.
