"YAMBUNA" River boats and red gum [lots of pics and finds]

Hi everyone,Today I took the family up to the in-laws farm,130 miles north of me.The farm is located a place called Yambuna up on the river country near the border with N.S.W. The area was settled in 1870"s under govenment land alotments.paddle-steamers use to bring supplys up the river and take farm produce down stream.My in-laws have had the farm since the 1870's.Plenty of relic and bottles to be found,but these farmers had little money or wealth.In the summer when the river is down plenty of good surface finds to get.We all had a big family lunch and in the afternoon i went out relic hunting for a few hours.here a few pics of finds and of some of the spots on the farm.There even a church that holds a service once a month.the nearest town is 30 miles away and most of the roads are just gravel.

nice hunting TP,that spot looks like it is in the middle of nowhere. Maybe you will have time to detect that church if you are staying up there for a couple of days. I really like those bottles,anything with nice embossing or a pontil mark is sweet in my book, HH...Shoot

My first reply to anyone, but I have to say my heart skipped a beat at the site of the redgum trees and the utes at the farm site. I worked at a few places over there many years ago on both sides of the country.
Keep up the good work!!!!
P.S. Have a XXXX for me on Boxing Day!
