To all the people wanting to find fossil shark teeth at Portland and getting no responses:
I was there in December 2015 and managed to find 14 teeth in the sand at Allestree Beach (just west of the large coastal seafarms, look on google maps). They were only small but there's definitely some...
Hello everyone!
I think today I may have found my first gold piece of jewellery on the beach! I need a bit of help though in determining if it is real gold or if it is some other kind of metal.
It's a bit beaten up and scratched. I can't see any marking on it saying how many karats or...
Some great specimens in this thread!
These were found late last year, and the one on the left was the first vertebrate fossil I ever found (after collecting only plants and shells for more than 6 years). It's a pair of two articulated Ichthyosaurus vertebrae and another single Ichthy vertebra...
^^^^^^^ Very nice Trilobite Pygidium (tail), great find!!
I am a long time member of the fossil forum which some people have already posted links to and there is a small group of us Aussies on there that would love to add some new Australian members so feel free to join up. It is a great community.

Hey guys, I just found this 1942 Half Penny in my backyard. It was literally on the surface eroding out of the dirt. I was walking along and saw a round coin shaped thing in the dirt, picked it up and sure enough it was a 1942 Half Penny. No metal detector required :D
The front is mostly...
Hi everyone,
I have a Garrett Ace 250 and have been using it on the beach for the past month or so now. I usually go out for a detect every couple days or so. I have not done badly by any means, up to about 80 coins totalling around $28 as well as a couple small bits of jewellery with what I...
According to that Gold Coast site, the 1957 coin could be worth anything between $1.20 and $15. What grade/quality do you think the coin is? I am not familiar with grading so have no idea what aUNC or VF even stand for.
