    Ipswich / Noosa area finds (QLD)

    Noosa stash: 3 long nights leading up to NYE. Some silver amongst the dress jewellery and some lunch money, actually had about $12 more, but needed to shout the wife a morning coffee for minding the kids.

    Good Evening, Found this specimen this evening about 0.5km from the first. Magnetic, heavy for its size and metallic finish. Any feedback you can share would be greatly appreciated? Without the camera flash similar colour to first, but for some the reason the flash made it appear slightly orange.

Just to be sure I also tested all predetermined settings - nothing. Also, appreciate...
