    My afternoon at the beach

    [attachment 35784 Pom1.JPG]turned out to be a bit of a non event. The beach is a sandy strip on the bend of a river about 30 klms from home. An elderly mate of mine told me it's been a popular swimming spot for about 100 years. I had a look this afternoon but all I could turn up were a few...

    Silver Day

    Hi all, just thought I would post a couple of pics from yesterdays visit to a country racecourse. The area is located on private property and horse races have been held here annually for almost 150 years. I just have to find the oldest area. Silver coins were Shillings, 1881 and 1942...

    This mornings hunt

    Hi all, slipped out this morning to a new site. The owner met me there and explained his grandfather had lived in the premises, most of which is now covered by a highway so I had a quick look in what would have been the rear yard and beyond. I only stayed a short time as it was blowing a gale...

    Couple of Pics

    Have attached a couple of pics of my digging/detecting mate Geoff in a farm dump we started on this morning. Heaps of bottles, unfortunately it was 1930's - 40's vintage and not much worth taking home. The nearby homestead is a huge two storey brick dwelling from the 1880's - 90's. Still a...

    Weekends finds

    Hi all, went out over the weekend to a couple of different spots. The first was an old farm ruin, nothing left only the stone foundations in the ground. Spent all day and could not come up with one coin. Plenty of cartridge cases, bits of lamps, horseshoes, stirrups etc. Found the dump and had...

    Yesterdays finds

    Hi all, went out yesterday afternoon to one of the schools in town. This was the first time at this location and I could only stay about an hour but I came home with a 1922 penny and two threepences, 1922 and 1943 together with a fist full of one and two cent pieces so I was happy. It's nice...

    Dry day

    Hi all, mate and I went out yesterday to a showground in a nearby town to give the Quattro's a run. Although it was a beautiful day we didn't do much good in the coin department. I got 6 x $2 and one penny and he managed 7 x $2 and a halfpenny. I was told today one of the locals has hit it...

    Not rally detecting

    Found this a little while back whilst out looking for bottles at an old farm site. I think it's a Colt Lightning, about 40 cal. I know it's not detecting but thought someone might be interested.....Ken.

    Site pictures

    Have attached some photo's of sites I am going to revisit with the Quattro. The first one is an area of gold diggins which is usually about 40 feet under water but due to the drought we are experiencing at the moment the dam has dried up. The others are your typical 1800's Australian farm...

    Finds

    Hi all, have spent the last couple of afternoons at a site in town where three old cottages have been demolished to make way for some new buildings. The developers took about 6 inches of top soil away and then levelled the site but I still managed to find a few coins. A couple of clay...

    Yesterdays Finds

    Went to one of the local schools yesterday afternoon for a couple of hours. It has a large grassed playground which on some old maps is originally shown as building lots. Some of them must have been built on as there's a fair bit of broken brick, glass and crockery under the surface. Just as...

    Aussie Bottles

    Just thought I would post a pic of a few Aussie Bottles from my collection. I've just started metal detecting within the last 12 months but have been a bottle collector for years. I've dug most of mine from farm or town dumps and a few wells. The ceramic bottles on the bottom are all ginger...

    Angela

    Angela, how's it going south of the border. We've had about 5 inches of rain here (Goulburn)over the last of couple of days. Soon as it stops I'm going to have a go at those deeper targets I couldn't get to before. P.S. Nice photo, nice finds. Ken.

    Yesterdays Finds

    Hi all, went to a school site yesterday afternoon for a few hours and have attached photo of finds, $17, a silver ring a few cents and a 1919 penny.
