More weird finds from the Goldfields

[Goldpick]

Nice finds as always Colin, the penny would be British considering the first Commonwealth penny appeared in 1911. Might have been a keepsake as a memory of the homeland.

I'm using a Nokta Fors Gold to find these relics, great machine.

 

[Heatho]

Nice finds Colin, good on you for getting that nice gold specie as well, awesome find.

Some cool finds, the gauge maybe an atmospheric pressure gauge, the cast bits are cool are they iron? maybe interesting to find out what they are. Could be from a fancy gate.

 

[ColinD]

Yes the penny wouldn't be valid currency anymore, that's what I was thinking, maybe it was someone's lucky penny that helped them through the Great War, I'll take it with me on a gold hunt, see if it still works.

 

[ColinD]

Sorry, should have put a 5c coin in for scale, the bits are quite small.
Yes the nugget was a really lucky find. Was meant to do a coin hunt with the Fors Relic before sending it back to Phasetechnical and discovered I'd left my digging tool back at one of my relic sites couple of days before.. had to go back for it and having driven there decided to have a swing.. bang, found the nugget almost right away. Wasn't even meant to be there that day. Gift from God or what?

 

[B5MECH]

Oooooorrrr their tiny ones.

 

[Sandta]

Would have been pretty fancy... what ever they're off
Nice finds

Nice finds.

 

[ColinD]

Why it pays to wear gloves, interesting little relics, presumably boot nails and sharp as..
$2 coin ref

 

[Goldpick]

I think they were the number one item I dug on my last gold outing to Maryborough, especially along the access tracks.

 

[ColinD]

At least you know you're finding the small bits GP, was pleased to see them as it showed no-one had hit the spot with an SDC.
Anyhoo... full(ish) Moon tonight, couldn't resist a night hunt with the Nokta... now this lot is what you call weird... Chinese coin, Victoria Military Forces button (couldn't resist cleaning the muck off as soon as I got in) a car front piece and a bunch of Steampunk crapola.

 

[ColinD]

Anyone know about cars? I really like the button and the coin looks like it's in good condition under that muck

 

[B5MECH]

Front guard mirror mount just can't think what make model at the moment.

 

[Sandta]

That button looks to be in great condition
Congrats on the chinese coin...
Im yet to find one myself

 

[Ramjet]

Got a close up of the button? The Chinese coins can be dated if ya clean it up.

 

[ColinD]

Pretty much still without cleaning, the soil in that spot is kind

 

[ColinD]

As it should be

 

[AtomRat]

Lovely chinese coin and button mate
