Help find my mate Spike - Lost in action

[Phantom]

Hi,

Long shot, but I have lost my best tool for fossicking and hope a fellow member may have come across Spike.
Description:

• Stainless Steel Rod approx 3/8[/*]
• Approx 600 mm long[/*]
• T handle on top[/*]

May have been left at Tuena late last year, otherwise the garage gods have taken him.

Regards,

Phantom

Do you know where at Tuena? I might be heading there this Friday for a day dig so if it's close to me I'll have a scout for it.

Jon,
I'm a bit vague but two spots I remember:
1. Down past the sports shed
2. Dam paddock over the river and up the creek 100-200 meters.

I know others have been in these areas so assume it has been found, or I've buried it, or the garage gods have it.

As a last resort I may need to do a full clean out of the garage, my girl will be so happy, I cab see the smile on her face now.

Kind Regards,

Phantom

Otherwise Phantom if u have no luck give me a yell and i can make you up a new one .

Stupid question, but what do you do with it?

 

[silver]

Probably where you parked the car and put it all on the ground before packing it up, still just lying there. (Maybe)

 

[Phantom]

Eldorado,

I use it to find bedrock also doubles as a great crevicing digger. The stainless is so strong you can drive it into the gravel.

GaryO,

I would really appreciate that if I cannot find it. The workshop were I had it done has been pulled down for units.

Regards,

Phantom

My old man used to be into bottle collecting when I was a young fella and he always had a bottle prod. Much the same tool. Asked tonight what It was made of , EH Holden boot spring was the answer apparently 1/4 inch spring steel . He told me he has never found a better substitute. Best thing about spring steel it will bend without taking a set.

Spike has been found, tucked away by the garage gods in some old gear I had not used for ages.

Now I will have to finish a full garage tidy up, to see what else turns up.

This is spike hiding.

Thanks all

Phantom
