Looks very professional. I'd be interested in the method you used to clean up that powder horn, I have a similar (but more beat up) one from the greater Braidwood area in NSW.

Very Dramatic. I like it. :Y:

Very impressive, I like the credits.

Hey mate, nice vids your doing there. :Y: If you haven't researched it yet, tell Lisa the round silver item she found is a lead soldered bridle rosette. i have several different ones and one exactly the same as lisa found.

ahhh cheers for that i will let her know! Any idea of age on these?

From what i can find they were around the early to mid 1800s, they lost popularity obviously with the introduction of the motor car in the 1900s.

Well we had to go down to the southwest to visit family. I researched a location where there were over 1500 workers building something in the area back in the 1920's. After a lot of walking i found a lot of brass canvas tent rings so i knew i was in the right area. I then found this....
