Still trying to ID it.

That's about the weirdest yet! Interesting find & one that would have an interesting story behind it.

 

[c alan]

Yeah when I worked out what it was I was worried what might be connected to it 8)

I know a few guys that have found nuggets under old stumps

Did you check it for secret compartments ?

 

[ColinD]

I went thru Creswick yesterday but that ain't mine 8)
Fantastic relic, what a display item. Wonder how old it is?

 

[c alan]

no Im a bit kreeped out by it really.

 

[ColinD]

Well it's not something you'd drop by accident so it was probably chucked out at some point I'd imagine. It's just an item someone wore when you think about it, like a shoe or a glove. Give it to a historical society if you don't want it in the house. I understand where you're coming from but I'd keep it if I found it.

 

[user 4485]

I'd probably give it to the local museum. I doubt my missus would let me keep it unless I hid it in the shed.

 

[Eldorado]

Wow,what a strange thing to find.

 

[looking]

C alan, so my question is, what did you do with the rest of the body and how big was the gold nugget he found? lol

 

[ColinD]

Back to the site where I found my first powder flask... and found the missing top part of one side, how lucky was that?

Also a weird wotsit, quite large, no clue what it is.

 

[AtomRat]

Good hunting again

Hey c Alan, do they have shafts in Creswick? Maybe the perishable bits of that bloke ended up down one!

 

[ColinD]

Quick hunt produced another snake buckle and token, couple of thimbles and a nice broach with other bits and bobs. Interesting the spoon bowl that has been completely flattened, I found a Parker token at this same spot that had been hammered flat, I reckon someone here was learning metalwork.

Token turned out to be another Parker Geelong, the 3rd one of these from this spot, looks like someone had a pocketful of them

Snake turned out to be my best one yet, beautiful condition

The things that are buried in the ground amazes me.
