My XP Deus 2016 Finds

[rocketaroo]

Nice diggin Rocket. Interesting object. In the last pic it looks like it fits onto a pipe or something round. Both ends the same?

yep, a fence decoration? but why brass? horse tack....buts its heavy, door knocker....possibly?

 

[Goldpick]

Will be a 1930 next time Rocket, I'm sure of it (well sort of). You guys sure come up with some strange relics in Newcastle, is it a handle off a chest of draws or similar, just with the side arms missing??

 

[silver]

Part of the tack of an old brass bed I recon fellas ,... Hows that plane !, what a beauty !

 

[rocketaroo]

Hunted a historic area today with RJ and Jacob, not zoned historic...bloody bypass going straight through it next year. No silver for me, but it was a change to detect bushland The large coil on the deus struggled in the long grass, but you use what you got!
The brown coin-looking thing maybe a token...its toasted, but I can see a 5 stamped into it.

 

[Goldpick]

Funny where you find foreign coins at times, though fitting that the Deus picked up a French 20 centimes. Are you sure the "token" isn't some sort of flattened button, bit hard to tell I suppose from its condition. Hopefully when the small elliptical coil comes out it will be more suited to working around tufts of grass, it will certainly be on my to buy list.

I love the little bottle and the latch. Did ya get it to mone?

 

[silver]

Interesting little hunt, the 5 thingy, looks like an ankh sideways to the left of whats more than likely not a 5, and further left looks like part of a H (maybe).

 

[rocketaroo]

the latch needs a soak in oil, its not moving yet. Yeah that little disc seems to have writing on it silver. I have ordered a magnifying glass from ebay, for just these situations.

 

[Goldpick]

I just realised how small that bottle actually was, especially in relation to the 5c piece - it's weeny.

 

[rocketaroo]

yeah, its tiny....my fav bottle find to date.

 

[Heatho]

Wonder what was in it, aftershave maybe???

 

[Goldpick]

Cure it all tonic!

 

[Heatho]

Cure it all tonic!

Hmm I could use some of that.

 

[rocketaroo]

short hunt at a new spot this arvo, storm chased me away, but happy with the results

 

[AtomRat]

Looks like a good start with promising pops so far

 

[Ramjet]

Nice start to a new spot.

 

[Goldpick]

Rocket, did you get any pre-decs amongst that lot, a bit dirty to tell.

Rocket, did you get any pre-decs amongst that lot, a bit dirty to tell.

yep, 3 pennies, will clean them after the big newy hunt tomorrow.

 

[Goldpick]

Ah, roger that, well done. Hopefully some big silvers to find next trip at your new spot.

Group hunt today, always good to meet some new faces. Shame my token is so rotted, it does have a reeded edge of sorts, but its lost its artwork. Nice to get silver, the jewellery is junk, and one penny is an 1861...I think. One of those small coppers is an old wheat penny from america....I forgot about that, better go clean it.
