Hi all Finally got some rain about 2 inches.The water ways near me only have water in them when it rains and often quite empty a few hours after the rain stops.Took the other dog which we own for a walk along the creek after work last nite.Hes known as an australian Kelpie cattle or sheep dog .Most are quite smart except the one we own he,s silly and has as much use as a square wheel. lol While walking a long a picked a couple pottery ale bottles and a single coin washed out of the creek bank.The site was that of the Cornish United mine , the shaft was long ago filled in but theres a few relics still to had around this site after the rain.

While i slid down the back to get the bottles the dog got onto a rabbit scent and went to the near rabbit warren.I couldn,t see him but i could hear he whinning as he knew rabbits were in their burrows but he had no idea how to get them.Smart dog would try and dig the rabbits out but mine just runs from hole to hole whining. lol

the bottles date from the victorian era about 1890 and the coin is an early 1850's penny.[young head]

here,s pic of finds and it was dark by the time i got home so not so good pic.


tinpan and stupid ;D ;D ;D

Very cool finds!!! LOL funny dog!!! :D
 

Those bottles look like they were lost yesterday tinpan, except I think you would get more than 5 cents for 'recycling' them, very nice :thumbsup:
The dog's never useless, if nothing else, an excuse to get out and find treasures

But did you get permission to detect?
 

I give that dog an extra treat for directing you to those great finds. Yes, I go back with detector for other goodies.

ozzie dogs don't take batteries and the last englishman to ask that question was the gold commissioner in 1854 while standing behind a british regiment at the miners rebellion.permission comes in a form of the MINER'S Right which is a legacy of the british defeat. ;D ;D ;D

public land unreserved can be used for recreationall purposes without permission as long as it within the guide lines of laws.

thanks for the reply, The rain is the key factor here,no man made digging device can remove soil like the power of water.I just took advantage of this.

A simple yes or no would have done. Try answering the question, or are you implying that detecting is recreational? The question was not, is your dog aloud to find stuff? It was, did you get or seek permission to detect it (I know you never mentioned detecting it)?
So in 1854 a gold commissioner asked if he could detect ::)

The miner's were smart enough too stand up for their rights and freedom because if they didn,t they would have live in over-regulated class system like what you still had to recent times.

The 4 largest groups of miners in the rebellion were the americans,cornish,chiness,irish ,welsh, i have them to thank for the freedom to hunt on public land. A miner's right is living history and the best relic i have.Theres also 150 years of basic rules for miners and not law.That defines a miner from a chum.
take this info as you please as it is all correct and fact.

Is that a no with a maybe yes. Are you aloud to detect or not :icon_scratch:
 

You seem know some things about our Laws but I know none of yours. I'm trying to learn what its like in Australia, so are you able detect that area or not?
