I'm from Bathurst as well. There's 3 of us already!!! Why don't we form our own group and grow from there?

I'm guessing aluminium, where possibly the can was a gold/yellow in colour? At least the aluminum would explain the light weight? I'm done... :cool:

Hey Wally, I think the only way to tell true craftsmanship with something like this, is to go and buy yourself a bag of wacky tabacky and give it a good run. If afterwards you find yourself giggling at your own thoughts whilst pigging out on twisties and ice-cream, then I'd say it gets a pass...

I have actually seen a couple of 20c pieces like this myself (not through metal detecting though), they split like an oreo, one my Dad has, the other one was partly split and I got it in my change years ago. What alerted me to it was that it sounded like one of those aluminium based coins that I...

Just thought I'd share with you all my home made tumbler. It was initially a HP laser printer but after gutting it out I just left the paper drive rollers as well as the drive motor. I then simply supplied power to it using an old phone charger. The container is waterproof but I think any...

It's funny you mentioned that "government issued milk" Stoyve, an old school that I go and snoop around near home is riddled with those blasted foil lids. :mad:

I know this will sound corny, but wouldn't it be sweet if it was used as a wishing well! :P :D

Hi Four Straws, Welcome aboard mate. I'm a newbie myself and I'm sure you'll find the people on here full of info. I live in Bathurst and have been to Hillend quite a few times. The only place you can fossick/detect is just a few kays north of town at Tambaroora. There is great camping in...

Boy they came up really well, gotta love electrolysis!! Just curious as to how deep they were? Finding a place like this must get your mind ticking as to its history!

Hi Jay, I to started with a Bounty Hunter IV and was more than happy with its performance as an entry level Detector. As previously stated you would have to be very lucky to find gold with it, but hey gold in the form of rings which it can detect, is still gold right? I've just recently...

Hi Duck, Just curious how your gonna go about cleaning those little beauties up? Was it an old airforce location is some kind? Obviously the volunteers weren't too worried about looking after their badges :D !!!

Hi Stevo, Your dead right in suggesting utube for tutorials, I've been doing exactly that and am coming along in leaps and bounds. Took it down to the showground today for a self lesson and found about $15 in coins. Will definitely hit it again after the show!!! Been thinking about doing some...

Hi Stevo, Good news mate, I live in Raglan and have been keen to meet up with someone to do some detecting with. I"ve just bought a Minelab Xterra-705 from Scotty at Mudgee and I have to say, you won't meet a nicer bloke. If you want to catch up for a beer/chat just give me a ring on 0448455072...

Hey guys, Your right about being close to the action!! I'm currently working a field with an old concrete cricket pitch. It also has an old church/school building nearby. Just today I popped up for a "fix" as it's a whole 2mins away!! So far I've found some decimals, old horse saddle gear etc...

Hi, my name is Brendan ( Brendo to my mates) and I've lived in Bathurst for just over 3 years. Moved out from Sydney to escape the ratrace and have not looked back. I still have my first detector, a Bounty hunter 4 and so far is doing me proud. With the history in bathurst I have quite a few...
