Cheers Grubstake - always nice to get confirmation it wasn't a snake. It was a little disconcerting that I dug and filled my hole prior to it being noticed.

Is this a legless lizard of some kind? About 25cm long and just under 1cm diameter. It was in the bush in suburban Perth. It was 30cm from where I was digging - I didn't see it - my son was with me and spotted it. After a little encouragement it slithered away.

My experience with small ultrasonic cleaners isn't good. I don't think they have sufficient power to actually be effective. I've tried two over the years, a Jaycar one and an eBay one. Both filed miserably, even using hot water + different detergents. I've used a small 4L commercial unit at...

Its hard without dimensions. Do you think it matches this one? https://au.element14.com/bulgin-limited/pxmbni12fbf05bscpg7/sensor-conn-m12-plug-5pos-cable/dp/2751837 This connector is called an M12 sensor plug with 5 positions. If you open the data sheet link you can check dimensions against...

A few coins today. A penny that looks like its been through a lawn mower. I also found a nice little Boy Scouts badge that is probably 1930s based on others I found online.

Yeah, if there's anyone fishing I usually give them away. They seem to appreciate being given the odd lure as well.

I've got 13kg worth of fishing sinkers, it includes a kilogram or so of lead scraps. Do you just sell it off as lead scrap at $1.50 per kilo or do you try to sell the lot as fishing sinkers for say $80? I'm sure many of us have a similar collection.

Very envious, looks like a months worth of nice dinners.

I wonder if the starlink calls will also drop out if you go indoors. I played with my wife's iphone 15 and had to go outside to connect to the satellites. I'm looking forward to it. It would be great to send texts when out of phone contact in the bush.

More finds today. 1944 threepence and a 1948 roo penny. Also got a brass metal button, I haven't found one like this before. It's two thin pieces stamped together with the outer edge rolled over. No text on it. Not a single ring pull or tab dug today. Got a few aluminium cans and parts of...

It certainly did. Good training for me on the new detector.

Was near a busy road so I could have been a dog. The rest was missing, foxes might have cleaned up.

Is this a cat? Perth, riverside. Seems to have a long nose for a cat. The bamboo stick is about 12mm diameter.

Two florins in the same hole today. About 9" apart. They really sung out well on the Manticore @ about 98 VDI after nothing but ring pulls and pull tabs for the last half an hour. Always pays to check the hole!

Glad you found it! I've recently rediscovered the Chiko as well, 20 mins at 200 in the oven and lunch is ready!

Just curious, did that Chiko roll ever turn up?

That's really cool SS. I didn't know finials could be flat. I just though of them as curtain rod ends! Thanks for going to the effort of the examples. Now I can go do some more looking. Cheers

Thanks Hippty, I'll check it out.

It's just a flat sheet. I thought it might be off a book or a small chest. I'll go google finials and have a look. Cheers guys.

Any ideas on what this might be? Pressed brass sheet about 44mm wide. Found along side the swan river. I'm not sure if it has text on it in Sanskrit or something similar.
