G'day everyone Just thought I'd share the results of many hours experimenting with different methods of cleaning old copper coins. After coming to the conclusion that boiling them in motor oil worked best, I still wasn't happy. I found my oldest coin to date on Saturday at a racecourse not far...

Going on a three day trip, two and a half hours from Bundy, staying in a one hundred year old cabin. The cabin is in the middle of an old township. Me and my mate "Pat" won the trip on ebay (got a second chance offer actually). We will be coin and relic hunting, nugget detecting and panning. I...

Sent the missus into town last week to cash in all our goldies and most of our silver change. Ended up with enough to pay for a whale watching tour in Hervey Bay and dinner at a dodgy Chinese place at the marina for fathers day. Was the best fathers day according to the kids, Whales everywhere...

Me and a mate were out detecting an old cricket pitch next to the local hall today and got abused by a local cane farmer who is the president of the hall committee. We were having a great time, I found my first florin and my oldest coin yet, an 1879 three pence. Pat (my mate) found four nice...

Just wondering if anyone has had experience with the painful problem of heel spurs (the calcium growth not the ones the cowboys wear). I have been suffering for about three weeks now and can't find anyone who has had them that hasn't had surgery. I avoid doctors like the plaque but I'm probably...
