"How to Research for Treasure and Metal Detecting" by O. Helsing. $9 E-book (comes as a pdf and an epub). Have converted it to mobi so its good to go on the Kindle. These are the Chapters. I like the 'When to Stop'. Looks OK - some of it is basic but its a logical sequence and I also like the cost of research versus exploring. Some of it is US specific but its simply a matter of changing the US Government data for Australian Government data and switching google maps over to Oz etc. If you want it, google the title.

Interesting little publication called "History of The Wedderburn Goldfields" bit of info taken from old local newspaper archives, also contains an interesting looking map but a bit fragile.
Also picked up a 1968 edition of the Vic Prospectors Guide for $15 at Daylesford at the weekend, older versions just feel better then the new Gov't reprint.
Cheers Tom

I bought an ARB E-Z Tyre deflator from a local pawn broker, thought $35 was pretty good seeing I saw them at ARB for around $79 so happy with that. Into the compressor bag it goes.
See ebay has some similar ones, but still not as cheap.

dont the pawnbrokers take your address and details in case the item gets claimed as stolen ?
cops can come and take it back off you and you lose your $$
i dont buy from pawnbrokers . i figure anything in there is stolen so why take on somebody elses bad luck ?

LATE MR. W. J. LAMBIE.
The "Age," referring to the death of
its late war correspondent, says:-"The
first Victorian to fall in the cause of
the Empire in South Africa, he will be
regretted alike by all who admired him
for his uprightness, generosity, and
force of character, as well as for his
high professional abilities, courage,
soldierly and patriotic instincts.
"The late Mr. Lambie was barely 40
years of age, yet had crowded into the
past 20 years events which rarely fall
to the lot even of the enterprising
modern journalist. A native of
Argyleshire, he was born in the town'
where General Sir John M'Neil of
Zareba fame, whom he afterwards met
under active service conditions in the
Soudan, first saw the light. Mr. Lam
bie was a soli of the manse, his father
being the late Rev. James Lambie, a
well-known Presbyterian minister on
the Werribee. He was thoroughly
Australian, and had had varied experi
ence of journalistic work in these colo
nies.
"iMr. Lambie's connection with the
press from its military aspect demon
strated his peculiar fitness for the im
portant mission upon which he was
sent. He had had practical training
in soldiering,. and by reading and con
tact with military associations had
made himself quite an authority on
military affairs. His long experience
of military operations and military
journalism well entitled Mr. Lambie to
the distinction of senior military re
porter of Australia. He first saw
active service with the Australian con
tingent in lower Egypt, where he acted
as war correspondent of the "Sydney
Morning Herald." He was at the
battle of Tamai, where the forces of
Osman Digna were rouited, and the Aus
tralians had three men wounded. As
soon as the fighting was over Mr. Lam
bie and Mr. Bennett Burleigh, the cor
respondent of the 'London "Daily Trle
graph," were the first to reach the tele
graph wire, and the former's message
was the first account of the fight re
ceived in Australia. Mr. Lambie was
present at all the operations in which
the Australians took part, and he and
another colonial reporter were the
heroes of an incident in the campaign
which attracted a good deal of notice
at the time, and was thus referred to
by Mr. Phil Robinson, the well-known
yar correspondent, in a lecture he de
livered some time ago in Melbourne:
" 'It was not only in the combatant
ranks that the Australians showed
themselves good men. The Australian
war correspondents-Mr. Lambie and
Mr. Melvin-figured in an episode which
they made too little of. Mr. Lambie
and Mr. Melvin were carrying their
despatches on horseback, and they
pushed' on ahead of the troops, a very
plucky thing to do. Endeavouring to
make a short cut, they suddenly found
themselves surprised by an ambush.
The Arabs fired upon them. They did
not bolt, as the Prince Imperial's party
did, but waited for each other, rode
back into camp, and informed the gene
ral. Had it not been for the Austra
lian war correspondents drawing the
fire of the Arabs the British troops
would have been attacked on their way
home. They performed all the duties
of a military reconnaissance, and de
served the thanks of the army. As it
was they received the congratulations
and respect of all their brethren of the
press.'
"During this escapade, when the Arab
bullets were flying about, Mr. Lambie
was shot through the right leg, and was
for a considerable time invalided at
Suakin,. The conduct of Mr. Lambie
and his companion was universally
praised, and Colonel Richardson, in

strongly recommended the two corre
spondents for medals, but the rigid

at a big rough guess they would have to be worth around $ 3500 ?
I dream of finding stuff like that at garage sales
when i was a young bloke i picked up a 1918 sterling silver candlestick for $ 2 , and some 1886 18 ct gold earings for 50 cents from a flea market .
I eventually sold them for a total $ 650
