Ipswich / Noosa area finds (QLD)

[GeorgeB]

Good Evening all,

By way of introduction, George here Ipswich QLD. Sharing some of my better finds over 18 months. Rings include; 2 silver (small opal) 1 gold with small diamonds, kids rings and a small charm, yet to verify but my guess is diamonds. The large object, seems to be modern low cost belt buckle component.

3x Pre decimal silver and a Penny. More pics to follow.

My favourite is the Ipswich Foundry sign 25+kg found 30 cm down, dug this one out during a night prospect on a local oval. Yet to fully verify, but I’ve been told is an early piece (1880s.) Feedback most welcome.

Noosa stash: 3 long nights leading up to NYE.
Some silver amongst the dress jewellery and some lunch money, actually had about $12 more, but needed to shout the wife a morning coffee for minding the kids. Keen to hear from the Forum about the small match box car, 2/3 the size of a typical match box car, looks to be 1950s?

Just found today, still trying to read a date, putting it out to the forum to Identify it, slightly bigger than a standard penny.

Thanks Jaros and team, finally found some virgin ground, having come off a 3 month dry spell finding spendables only. With exception of this find, I’ve now added deep water detecting Rivers and beaches, curtesy of the exterra, keeping the equinox dry. So hoping to have some interesting finds up soon.
