No apologies needed
No apologies needed! hopefully you guys get out and find some of the good stuff
Took The Rookie Miner out for a bit of detecting at a few local sites here in the Northeast. Lots of cool finds popping up including his FIRST pre-decimal coin plus we get a visit from some native Australian wildlife.
That's a very cool video and it's great to see the Rookie Miner getting into the spirit of the hunt.
I think your mystery object with the two prongs is a tuning fork. Holding it by the bulbous base and knocking the prongs against a hard object will produce a ringing tone of a particular frequency, which can then be used to tune a musical instrument.
very interesting! the site this was found at did have a small schoolhouse situated nearby so perhaps it belonged to the music class!?
Snuck out to Reedy Creek near Eldorado with The Rookie Miner for a bit of sluicing on the last day of winter. Plenty of laughs and a bit of gold was a great way to spend the day.
Took The Rookie Miner out to Reedy Creek to chase a pay streak around some bedrock, also got a lesson in 7yo philosophy.
