Hi all, been busy with a few different sites and weather is a bit milder. Thats still hotter an a English summer. lol Anyway went out to a old site where once a post office once stood.Not much to look at.Just an empty horse paddock.Lockwood is more like a place than a town but is where 3 main roads cross before the river.During the gold rush, stagecoachs and the Government gold shipments passed by.Not far up the road was a camp for troopers who could be called apon to put down rebellions and trouble in the near by gold feilds.Most gold feilds spreed across the surrounding 600 square miles.
Found a few buckles and half eaten spoons lol early young head penny,button and a much later English threepence[silver].The fancy buckle is a miners buckle of the style worn here in the 1850's Quite a few hours work and made 2 trips.Lots of digging.The buckles were at about a depth of 27 inches.That Ventura coil and GPX gives a clear slide without tweaking out
