Hello All. I have a couple of photos of finds at the US army hospital over the last couple of weeks.

One silver shilling - 1912. Three silver sixpences 1922-26-36.two silver threepences 1942-36.one partly made coin ring from a florin dated 1931 just visible beside the break in the coins. I now have a handful of coin ring in different states of attempts of making them. One Australian forces button two us buttons. One small bronze bell about 3/4inch in size. Three 45 cal bullets. Two 11mm bullets and a 303 bullet. One old style of razor with the screw on handle. Assortment of belt buckles. A couple of locks. Tent eyelets one pocket knife about 4inches long with ivory on each side. I found a bottle pit which was covered with sheets of fibro cement. The top ones were smashed up but with a bit of carefully digging I managed to save some of the small ones. I have found an old show grounds that is quite active each week. Between the show grounds and the hospital site I will be quite busy for some weeks to come. I won

I may never get to Australia but if I do...can I go hunting with you? What an awesome site you have found!

If those in Archeology could understand what we do and why we do it, I think there would be a new beginning of coorperation, unless it's just an ego thing with them. I say that because of the obvious history, even living history here and your obvious love of it. The kind of work you are doing here, taking pictures, cataloging, etc. is great and totally complements what an archeologist could do later with a complete dig. Thank you for sharing your work. You are the kind of collector that I strive to be. I am going to buy a handheld GPS and use it to accurately catalog all my relic findings. With that, a tag or marked envelope, pictures, and depth. I should have a useful collection by the time I finish with it.

Sorry to drift there but your links inspired me.

Thanks again,

Julien
