[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 515620, member: 8767"] Well.... Ladies and Gentlemen, Kato has just spent 3 solid days swinging her CTX3030. Amongst her finds were 2x bucket list items.... 1x King George III 1807 in great condition for its age and nearby..... 1x Gold Gilted Naval button, suspected officers uniform button - late 1700's to early 1800's. The HUGE thing is that these may be linked to a British expedition slightly pre-dating settlement in SA (1836). We suspect Col. William Light had landed here weeks immediately before selecting the site of Adelaide, left half of his crew on shore (to gather supplies?) and later returned to pick them up. He may have been checking the suitability of sites along the SA coastline for a settlement. More to come as she finds it. Her hands were shaking as she showed me the coin, she knew what the coin was, but had not registered the possible significance. :) :) [/QUOTE]
