Some Things I've Found While Detecting


Recommended Posts

Apart from several kilo's of scrap metal some interesting items have come to the surface while digging targets in the Australian goldfields

The coin is an 1846 sixpence and was found in Victoria

The object is, I think, the top of a walking cane. It is brass and is weighted with lead in the domed end. I found this with an SD2200 down about 2 1/2 ft with a 18 inch elliptical mono coil

These are lumps of natural copper that I dug up in northern South Australia in a very small long forgotten goldfield

The same location produced some nice clear quartz

The same location also produced some nice lava samples including this section of lava tube

 

What interesting things have you found?

 

Cheers

HA!! That crafty gold buyer didn't get to this wise ol' prospector! NOT THIS TIME! I found me a piece of gold with FIVE DOLLARS wrote right on it and I made him give me my five bucks IN CASH. That'll teach him.

While on vacation, I did some detecting at a park.

 

Not much for it - some clad and junk jewelry.

 

On the way back to the hotel, I passed a lady and she asked if I found anything good today.

 

Well yes I found you, I replied.

 

That is not what I meant.

 

What is the most expensive thing you found.

 

Gave a wink and told her that would be my wife.

 

:D
