 Hi all,
Well after that ear bashing trying to get help, I wont ask again I hope to have the pic thing sorted out soon.
What I have here is some pics of two items plus some farm shots that I wanted to post just to get things going so all I can do right now is mention these items,maybe some of our US members can help with these as I know they are both from there.. the first item is a .22 cal "blue jacket 1.1/2 " revolver that some one pounded the crap out of so it doesn't work anymore it was patented ...May 27...78 now I dont know if that is 1878 or 1978.........it was in good condition.
The other item was found inside the farmhouse as it was being demolished and I know you are JUST going to go ga ga when you eventually see it.......it is a $10 gold coin 1893 in almost perfect condition this would have been a tremendous loss back then OR was it part of a cache that went unoticed......to late now as we only got to know about it after the damage was done "no mint mark".
So I am working diligently to fix things here with the photo upload problem..........Get researching guys.........Johnnn

What ear bashing did you get? I thought there was a lot of help sent your way. I, for one, answered your questions.

Congratulations on the gold coin, mate! Don't forget to search the rubble for more. If it's been removed, search where the rubble used to be. There may be another one or two left behind. Man, I wish so much that Australia had a bit longer history of European occupation so we could see more gold coins in the old finds pouch. Sigh.

Count me among the envious. Thanks for sharing your story. Pardon me while I weep.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Wow, I'm excited to see that gold coin. Were you able to see where it came from in the farmhouse (hiding place) or was it just laying in the rubble?

Also can't wait to see that revolver!

Awsome dude.

You da man Cool

Would like to help with the photos.

This may help. It is a free MicroSoft program for quick and easy
resizing of your photos. Your photos may be to big to download
to the site. The Image resizer will work with a right click of the
mouse when you are in Windows Explorer looking at your photos.

Hi All,
Thanks for the interest, and advice sooner or later I will get things working again, I am running out of time I go to the UK "London" on Thurs day for two weeks to see my mum "yes I have a detector stashed away", I am trying to book myself into a rally that is very close to where she lives says "undetected site" I will get pics if I can get in.
H/H to you all.
PS I didn't find the coin but the whole foundation is there and somewhat caved in, will take a lot of work.........Johnnn

Wow, I feel as if there is going to be a pattern appearing of finding gold coins.  Great, awesome find!! Can't wait to hear what else comes from the area. Wink Cheesy
