Popular Post jrbeatty Posted August 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2018 Last month, Reg Wilson detected this pretty 50 gram colour in pipeclay at about 20" with his QED: Last fortnight, while we were detecting a remote area in the far west of Victoria with limited success, He also scored the Edward 7th medallion (above) The week before, while working together he scored a Chinese coin (no image) and this naval button. Any speculation as to nationality welcome: During the same time period, apart from some gold, I managed to score enough munitions to start a military campaign Now, despite many decades of detecting goldfields, I've never found a Chinese coin. How come some people find interesting stuff while detecting? Not holding my mouth right perhaps - - ? 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind finding one since they vary in price between AU$500 and $50000 depending on type and condition. Usually find a few secret "gardens" though lol!

Jin Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Whats growing in the pot? Looks like parsley. I suppose the chicken wire is to keep the kangaroos and rabbits from eating it. Not sure why anyone would go to that much trouble growing stuff in the bush unless it was pot. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
