Hi All and Paulmarr,
I will add to my "to do" list some photos of finds.
At the moment I am researching a race track that operated in my local area from about 1909 to around 1937. There is no parish maps here in my local library for it so there is a lot of hunting. I am also researching a local "pub" come brothel and cattle/horse sale yards. In 1915 horses were purchased for the army and driven from Penrith(NSW) to Liverpool to the Army base there by Army personnel. A great uncle of mine was one of these men.
I have now changed my park scanning to after six am as a big group of runners is in the parks too, a safety thing otherwise three of us go together. I have given up the night trips, too many drunks and hoons racing their cars and hoods with knifes around, after dark.
One other project I have is all those old buggered pennies I mount then inside a small picture frame, say six or eight and have given them to historical societies' with information on the back of where found and others I have sold for $20.
Bob.
