[QUOTE="Warble, post: 589277, member: 19724"] I think on some fields the old diggers habitually used to fire off their weapons up in the air on dusk. It was a way of displaying firepower and deterring thieves. Probably also helped keep the weapons in good nick after a day on the pan in your claim. Not sure about the prevalence of shotguns. I certainly come across my fair share of pellets that get the heart racing! [/QUOTE]
