Interesting site, looks like it has a lot of promise. The tanks are pretty cool, home cast maybe?

Anything is possible, could be home cast just like the musket ball - I never thought of that so it is something to think about.
I think this part of the 1850s property is more 1900s+ because of the finds and modern looking tiles I have found. But it is still a good site and one I never thought would have a house on it. :Y:

Yeah Numpty in my haste to bend it straight I broke it, just looking at it again it looks more like a burglar than a soldier.

Well putting the detector down never lasted very long, I decided last night to go out for a dig after a really topsy turvy day.
My wife knew I needed to get out for a bit so off I went back to my spot.
I got there and the first target was a nice looking 1941 Half Penny, I dunno what it is with this spot but if I go left it gets more modern, if I go right old and modern, if I stay in the middle between two trees old targets......Anyway I got some interesting finds and before leaving I decided to swing the detector next to where I parked my car some 25 - 30 metres away.
First signal I hit was a $2 then a few Brownies. I got a nice crisp sounding 34 and dug away till I hit metal, I thought junk but when I pulled the dirt out I could feel something heavy, I slowly removed the dirt to find a little (Lead Teddy Bear)....The head spins around as do the arms and one leg, I thought bugger I broke the other leg off and checked the dirt and hole but no leg, ran the detector over to make sure and nothing.
The finds were pretty good and I am happy with them.
Feeling really tired as I am doing the taxi run at 6 am for my (Third Eldest Son) who just started working again after flitting around at home, my wife does the Taxi run for our second Eldest at 7:30 am....
So I mean it this time I am hanging the detector for a while if I can muster the will to not pick it up. lol I need to get some stuff sorted out.
Before I left I noticed something interesting about the spot I have been working, small patches of clover leaf in circles, I thought to myself Old Gardens?
Ran the detector over and nothing, so I decided to go Max Sensitivity and Boom signals everywhere deep deep deep, quickly ran back over the other areas and Boom Boom Boom deep deep deep signals, so all of the surface finds are pretty much done with so it's something to look forward too.

Cheers everyone - GDA

Kitchen Sink Waste Pipe...I could hear a small voice saying, everything but the Kitchen Sink hahaha

Not sure if this is a Bullet? I put the $2 coins so you could all see the size of it. Has Groves near the base of it.

This may be the casing?

Torch by the look of it.

1941 Half Penny

From the modern site...

Lead Teddy

Gold Plated Lighter? lol I don't think so...

No idea what this is, some sort of bracket?

This one I have no idea as well, it is made of copper though any thoughts?

A Chunk of Solder...Just what I need.

Oki Doki have fun, take care and find lots of cool stuff....

Found an old Antique Bottle as well next to a tree, was surprised considering I was looking for a Metal Target which turned out to be a small 22 bullet Casing.

If you can bear it keep looking, probs threw the bear when the leg broke off, trick will be to think it through as to how far they threw it, and, where from.

Was only about 2 inches deep, they have done a lot of grading on that spot over the years I can tell also they added top soil at some stage because the hard pack layer is yellowy/orange and not the grey on top and it is also compact underneath but quite loose on top. :Y:
