[QUOTE="AU Fever, post: 13912, member: 397"] Thought I would post a pic of my "finds" on Sunday. No gold, but some interesting stuff... [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/397/1370945806_image.jpg[/img] The old tap which weighs in at 88g seems to be made of copper and brass and has "HUDDERSFIELD" on one side and "HOLLIDAY" on the other. According to my friend Dr Google, the Holliday Dyes and Chemical Works were based in Huddersfield in the UK. [url]http://www.colorantshistory.org/HollidayDye.html[/url] The other items are bullets, the big one is 7.2g and the smaller ones 1.88g and 2.42g. There is also a large lead shot at 3.09g, maybe a musket shot? These will be used for "target practice" in the back yard. Lastly, a couple of buttons. One relatively new and the other could have been an old button from a trooper's coat or the like. On the bottom right I think is the remains of a press stud, not sure. No gold yet, but it's a comin' :P AU [/QUOTE]
