havenacrack finds sumtings

The caravan payed off well despite being no pre-decs, though that buckle on the top right looks pretty old. Never know, there might be some still there with some further exploring.

Nice hunt

 

[havenacrack]

Yeah i convinced there's more to be found here, the park is an old one and has been closed over a decade from what i can gather. I pretty new to this and today was a big learning curve, i found the high trash frustrating to say the least! Overgrown, old building materials, some area's hard to access but that's where my finds came from, nothing from clear area's so I'm guessing the easier area's have been gone over? On the 305 i had the first two notches discriminated should I have a bit more, any advice will be appeciated, cheers.

Gemstones, it might pay to make a separate topic in here https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=40 vs posting in havingago's personal finds topic. Just cut and paste what is already written here into the new topic, and I will delete this one once done, cheers.
