Thanks all. Ill have to do some more research. Ive done Amherst, Marborough, Talbot, Wehla, etc to death for little return, but when push comes to shove its what I know best.

Teemore, we were at Dunolly in 2019, didnt travel last year obviously. I was so concerned about the whole CW that Id contemplated going to another area, Enfield, Beechworth, the east gippsland.

Hmmmmm, ok, well I thought with the CW Goldfields around Dunolly, Wanyarra, Rheola, Kingower which is where weve gone in the past we might not have been able to access. But it sounds like little has changed. Im hoping anyway.

Hi all While I sit back here in SA, listening to all the comments from anyone and everyone who can get their words in print or the heads on the telly, Ive been wondering how Parks Vict has actually changed the way prospectors can access the State Parks and Forestry properties? I want to come...

Hi Daz, its a great site mate. I joined many years ago, a real newbie and many have shared so much info to help me understand. Great people on here to answer your many questions.............. except tgeir fave spots.?

I reckon if you keep reading youll come across phrases like "not payable" And " large but very scattered nuggets ". Then youve got to decide whether "not payable" applies today with our electronic masterpieces. So it's your call after more reading.

I guess I got into detecting because I was, am intrigued by the notion of finding stuff that others have held in their hands years before. Coins, relics, or other things intrigue me, and what those people felt when they lost them. This intrigue just followed onto Gold a few years later, when I...

All the best mate. Itll be a great outcome for you Im sure. You wouldnt want to be unwell in any other century previously with what they can do now. Good luck.

Hi folks. I know some of you have graduated to these. Can you tell me how they work? What you need? I see w headphones advertised on Ebay but what makes them talk to the detector. Im sick and tired of the wired phones crackling and not working. So annoying. Your insight would be appreciated.

Many years ago my wife and I were on holidays travelling around Victoria. Our travels took us on the road to Nagambie, and as we drove along the ropes over the top of our carcamper started to flap. Expecting hassles I pulled over to tighten everything but when we look at the load, there were...

Thats crook mate. Hope ya get on ok. All the best and hang in there. We only get one life, so get on and wring this ones neck, mate.

Yep Happy, i think youre right on reflection . Initally I thought medal, but without an inscription its not personalised ss you point out, so a necklace/pendant looks the go. Either way it was a cool find from an old showgrounds of the 1860s.

Thanks Manpa, youre onto something and I think youre right. This is the closest and may not be exactly the same but its really close. Thanks again. Youre a legend.

Righto folks, I was just going through some jars of coins and thought Id finally open up a problem to the wealth of knowledge that I know exists at PA. Im going to include a photo of a boat propellor that I found a few years ago. It has a small split ring attached and from that alone, I thought...

Sandta. Btian meilak has only seen that bucklecyou referred to once before. It was found sw NSW but I dont think he has a piccie. Both the round one, and the mangled ones are in the book, page 123 and dont know the other page. But the book is a fabulous resource. We are extremely lucky to have...

The top one I found a coupla weeks ago. The bottom one, found on page 123 of The Australian Cricket Buckle Book, I found this week. A third one, that has been really smashed around needs some straightening out. Will attempt that once I get some heat onto it. IF i wreck it itll be no loss as its...

Hi all. I came across a coupla crickets buckles yesterday while detecting so when I got home decided to find out a bit more about them. A guy called Brian Meilak has done an extensive study on a huge number of buckles ( the pdf file is 1680 pages) and can be found on the net, version 4. So for...

Ive photographed it x3 and the final pic looks the same. Might have something to do with reduction in size too. Btw, much of the info on this button I found at www.ausbuttonhistory.com

Every now and then we find a pearla, that sometimes is even more significant than a bunhead or KGV. My last "pearla" was a cruddy old button with much significance, because you see it even predates the recognised Militia of our area. The 81st Wakefield was formed and disbanded by 1914 and the...

I know Ive started this a few weeks early but hey, theres only a coupla weeks left if 2019, so I thought Id start this thread with todays find. With a new permission, I jagged a really great coin, an 1853 Halfpenny. Its pretty toasted and only able to be JUST recognised but here it is.
