I just love the old English pennies such a great green patina :Y:

Anyone remember Courage Draught beer? This can is from 1974 and has stats of a young 21 yr old Leigh Matthews on it..was my favourite find of the day layful:

Great mix, well done.
And yes Courage was the drink everyone turned to when Carlton went on strike, think that's about the only time though.

That is a Nugget of a bullet shell. Looks heavier gauge than a 303.
It`s got me wondering.

I should have read this first before my post lol
Cheers for that. What are they generally used for? Elephants? Water buffalo ?? I know they use shotguns to scare away the corellas in the area (golf course) coz they tear up the fairways. Here I was thinking it was the roos till I chatted to the greens keepers.
