Cheers Matt! yep thats why i cant part with the sov. The amount of people/shires, gov depts ive contacted to get permissions and all the research ive put in and lots war items ive given back to familys it was like the universe gave it to me as a reward. I was offered $2500 just recently, more than i think it worth but couldnt sell it

Well hit up a location on the old maps listed as "Railway purposes" ive seen a few times while driving around a town in the wheatbelt but was way to overgrown to detect. Lucky now the shire has been in a mowed or wipper snipped it. We have been making some really good finds as i think it was the location of the stationmasters house.
In total 4 really old padlocks oldest dated to 1890's-1910 and others up to 1930's
Also got a musket ball , coins and the standout find a GSRY's (1886-1896) reversible tag. Lots more there but its been brutal hot so can only get a few hours in a time.
