Hi David, My mums pretty savvy with antiques as a long time hobby and dealer, definitely a can opener and a rare one, most ones are bulls heads with the horn and opener part being replaceable via screw holding it in place. Yours appears to be earlier though, as far as she could look she couldnt...

This forum never ceases to amaze, thank you megsy and all who added their input :) Ill let my mum know shes got a lucky dud :lol: :P Regards Husky

I did suggest that to her, a decent jeweller should have a basic answer but we were also curious about the markings and history behind it.. Just throwing it out there to see if any of the knowledgeable members here have any ideas.

Greetings all, My mum was given this bracelet, and shes wondering if its gold, it seems to have markings but we've got no idea what they are .. weighs around 35 - 40 grams in total. Any thoughts? Regards Husky

Is there a particular reason for this? Yes, it stops the long pick handle banging the side of your leg while walking along swinging the detector.. the 45 angle keeps the handle well fom your leg, much more comfortable and easier to slide the pick out too when needed.

Hate it when photos come out sideways :mad: might have to tilt ur heads to the side sorry :(

Was working on the road today when this little fella crossed the road in front of us and cruised up a small tree in someones front yard.. even posed for the photo before the local magpies started swooping :D :koala:

Having just finished reading tudogz novel i thoroughly recommend checking it out, intriguing reading to say the least and i think a talented writer :Y: I have no affiliation with tudogz just thought id put it out there, i love a good book involving gold and this is one of them, hats off to you...

So what does this device do with the "big" cats that fail to set the sensor off? Ive seen feral cats the size of a decent size dog :o As mentioned though it is a very creative device :Y: Hats off to aussie ingenuity :beer:

Was a pleasure to meet you manpa, really enjoyed chatting with you :Y: I highly recommend manpa's work, the pictures he posts of his pieces dont do them justice IMO, you are a very talented bloke :power: I really appreciate you delivering the model T also mate, absolute legend! :beer: Let us...

Hi Manpa, tried to send you a pm but timeout cut most of the message off :mad: Im interested in a t model if ramjet does or doesnt take that one you have? Your a talented man :power: :Y: Regards, Husky

Thank you everyone for posting your thoughts on this, i figured someone on here would probably know what it is :Y: Ive let my mate know and he is glad to finally find out what hes found.. Cheers guys :beer: Husky

Hi all, Im posting this for a mate who was out detecting for gold in the gt recently and dug this up from about 300mm depth in what he called 'nice looking clay'.. he says it appears to be made of 'plastic', with a metal centre and sounded just like gold. To me it looks like a bullet projectile...

Hey DD yeah 4500, couldnt believe how small it was when i got down to it, fairly faint signal but still pulled me up to have a look :cool: I found another one at a different spot same weight but it had a tiny piece of quartz in the centre of it so probably less gold in the second one realisticly.

Love my 11" elite coil, .06g at 4" :perfect:

F'n pigs.. i hate junkys :mad: shocking for such a beautiful part of the hills too :( good work AR.

Agree'd BW generally we look for and work new & untouched ground, this was just a little convenient fun with a beer in hand after a slow day. All our other small pieces were hard work and well earned but gold is gold at the end of the day :)

Cheers everyone :) That pic resizing thing gets me everytime.. might try a different program next time i think :/ Definitely one of my best efforts swingin for colour so far :) but luck had a lot to do with it too :P set up camp with my mate neogeo and his two boys and met up with chucky boy...

Snagged these pieces over easter just gone, the bigger 'map of tassie' piece in centre came to 3.69g and all up total of 5.34g with the smaller bits. Sorry bout the oversize pic, still tryin to work out the resizing thingo :/ Cheers :D
