I do like the idea of finding silver first up, though unfortunately for me it usually means that's all I will find for the whole session. :|

I know how you feel GP :/ there getting rare here maybe I should throw some back so I can find them again :lol:

It's a difficult subject to research silver I think these were just a ..... eyes to the ground theory 8) :lol: :lol: :Y:
Should have looked around a bit further but was running out of time I'll have to have a further look next time :Y:

Take a blunt rounded end probe with you, and probe any depressions, feeling for the chink of metal on glass ,.... when found, dig and retrieve bottles carefully.
That's gunna be about all you'd find researching anyway ,... maybe look for the tell tale signs of old broken class or crockery, and signs of prior habitation too.
There you go, now your an expert lol. :Y: :Y:

Gotta laugh,...i only have 2x Bendigo made cordial bottles, found with a detector while looking for gold on some shallow diggers holes, and both in the one 'ol timers hole beneath a foot of leaf litter and 2-3" of soil coverage. Sooooo glad i didn't put the pic through em lol.

It was such a junky signal i imagine most left it for scrap.... my WIN. They are both from the same factory yet have different designs.
Not been able to find much about them actually...

They rate as part of my 'collection'...

Looks like a good spot for some older coinage going by what you found, would definitely be worth spending a few more hours there. Any idea what used to be there?

A spot in the gold fields GP, super junky detector screaming everywhere spot, I thought it may have been a tip but starting to think the clearing would have been a camp spot or hut site
I've definitively gota walk in the bush further
The bottles were sun bakers and have been overlooked by everyone I'm sure I saw a whole round one but shrugged it off as a wine bottle without even picking it up :lol:

Sly grog site?...."the traps are coming, Joe, Joe, Joe"...

Frantic rate of burial....
