Wow, you've had some really interesting finds Wally69! I like the soap token, very interesting

Thanks AtomRat, glad you enjoyed them, it is great to see what comes out of the ground.

Found an interesting bronze ring today in an area known for its history (and junk), possibly a mens ring as the inside is a bit flatter indicating it was formed using a mandrel..... :rolleyes: .......but it could be anything.

Heath kept me company as we found a new spot that seems to be undetected. Pulled a few spendables and half pennys 1933 42, 43, 43 before he heat saw us retreat and leave the spot for another day.

Hey Wally nice finds again. Is that an old GEM Razor at the top of the photo?
Cheers

Sure is, I have half a dozen handles stashed somewhere. I like finding them, they are a good indicator that an area has been used as a campground at some point in its life. The last park I found one in I scored a few nice buckles and some brittanias. :p
 
It is a button, thinking Boy Scouts.....or a secret identification button indicating it is from the sydney werewolf society and lost on a full moon evening. Oowwww

Edit....sheep is made of a soft metal, maybe lead. It is hollow cast or soldered together and looks quite old.
 
You found cooler stuff than I did mate, hmmmm, oh crap the heat did get to me, I think I tossed that pendant thingo in the bin, will retrieve it in the morning...... Was a good hunt. :)
 
You CTX owners ..... throwing away good silver :eek: you should be ashamed of yourself ;)

We will have to go back, keen to look at that bottom corner, it may be where everyone went to get into misceif.

Gotta stop tossing the silver yes........ Hmmmm could be right about that corner, probab still people getting up to mischief there. :D
 
Cmon Wally I can see the blurry silvers when I zoom in( can't wait, can't wait), there's three 3ds and i'm thinking a post 1944 shilling there in the silvers department,... might need a c l e a r closeup for some silver appreciation time.(unless you scratched them all and are just covering up with a blurred image or something like that "ha"). :lol: :D
 
Fair call - it is a crap photo - I'll get around to taking a better one next year ;)

Got some 'special' silver, a 1903 penny, war era penny spill and some 'cold steel' I found chasing Captain Thunderbolts loot that you will have to wait for as well. :D

Sorry for the teaser........no I'm not :lol:
 
Great job wally! I like the star thing and..hang on..what's that? A teabag? Hahahaha :lol: :lol: classic! Clean up Australia day today hey..still a decent amount of oldies!!!!
I havnt found a 'chopped' coin yet..seems to be more common in some areas than others mabey

Lol @ heatho
 
Is that what they are :eek: I have made a frame with several shelves to display all my little jingle bells, so many different shapes and varieties - wondered why they were all missing the dangly bit. :rolleyes:
 
The star thingy looks military or scout related, it has a bit of felt under it that was probably dyed.

At the in-laws for a while so am wi-fi impaired and can't research it. :( Keen to see what it is.

3p's are 44, 51, 57 a 1920 penny and didn't get a chance to clean the 1/2P.

Can't wait to get time to clean Thunderbolt's loot and sieve my bucket of sapphire wash. :p
