[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 142891, member: 1695"] Had a bit of a multi park visit tonight, trying to seek out those rougher, less well used spots that might hide a few gems. Most spots were crawling with BB's, except one spot which didn't look old enough to hold anything of worth, ended up producing a 1927 halfpenny and an amazing condition WW1 T.B. Soldiers Aid Society lapel pin. The only reference I can find for this particular pin is on the MuseumVictoria website, and even that doesn't have pics, but the description matches to a T. The badge was manufactured by K.G. Luke of Melbourne. The T.B. Soldiers Aid Society was formed in SA in 1921 to aid soldiers suffering with tuberculosis, particularly as they did not receive war pensions after WW1 to support themselves. The other small gold badge is labelled with "Eye support a star, Blindsports Australia". :) [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1695/1426955925_lapel1.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1695/1426955945_lapel2.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
