Peteren Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 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?

sjmpainter Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
