Ramjet's XP Deus finds.

[Ramjet]

On Tuesday morning I had a bit of a road trip into the Barringtons. I had the permission from the owner to detect an old teachers house and school house. The teachers house was originally a dairy farmers cottage built around 1904/05. The school was built later, 1950s we think. The school was built about 1 kilometer from the sawmill to allow the village children to get away from the constant noise from the mill. The village still exists with 18 houses and is a co-op owned buy the people who own the houses. I know a guy who owns one of the houses and I hope to get permission to detect there soon. It really is beautiful country.

I got enough good finds to make a return visit worth the effort. Let's face it, the scenery alone is enough reason to go up there. Fav finds are the Souths badge and lead donkey.
I have taken so long to post because I've been playing with my latest toy. See last pic.

The old house circa 1904

The 1950s school house.

The nearby Allyn River. Beautiful spot.

The finds.....

RJ detecting going hi tech Yes, surprised you didnt find more, on that lovely old site.

 

[Ramjet]

There will be more there. Problem is that it is now a weekender and for years everyone has thrown their bottle tops around the fire and yard. It will take time to clean it all out.

Awesome hunt Rod, I love the Gloucester/Barrington area, such a pristine looking place, how's those Gloucester Buckets behind the town, really awesome scenery. I always go that way on my journey to Inverell.

Nice Quad copter.

Well donr RJ, still plenty of nice finds. Are you heading back to the barringtons school? Take a drag neodymium magnrt bar for the iron bottle caps before a swing to try n minimize the count

I didnt stay. I was invited to but declined. There were 4 guys from work there off trail bike riding. We have camped up there plenty of times. There are several valleys with similar creeks and plenty of camping spots in the area. It's only 1 hour 40 from my house.

I'll post a video of my camera going under wayer and you can see just how pristine it is.

I expect to see some professional you tube clips with lots of aerial views in the future RJ.

The new toy looks like it will be a lot of fun, there have been a few detectorists using them lately to good effect on their clips.

Awesome fun I've only had a couple of flights. Definitely need another battery. 25 minutes is a longish flight time but ya always want more. I am amazed at how stable it is and how easy to fly.

I went down to Umina yesterday morning for a photo shoot for the local paper. Tim has started a jewelry recovery team.
While on the beach I found a Hungarian 200 forint coin., worth about $1. Then Jacob gave me a cool coin/token from Ringy and KG. Love it
