RE: unexpected finds - 1/1/2005 8:26:07 PM    claire3798   Posts: 17 Joined: 12/15/2004 Status: offline Found 6 Mckenzies Dandelion ale bottles, green blob tops with pictorial of two men holding up a bottle with waterfall in the background and dandelion flowers in the foreground, hundreds of broken ones with which I cut down and made dringing glasses out of. Couple of years ago that was and in the same year I found 6 Townsville ginger beers in 30 seconds. Hope this years is close to that one. Cheers, Ian (in reply to codd commando) Post #: 5

RE: unexpected finds - 1/3/2005 6:16:27 AM    IRISH   Posts: 1238 Joined: 11/23/2002 From: cockatoo Australia Status: offline Nice find codd commando , I've never found a complete handgun but do have a .25 hex twist rifled barrel off an early one, probably a rimfire as I found a few large caliber CB caps in the same spot. Also found the barrel of a muzzle loading shot gun in the same place, both detecting finds. Other interesting "things" I've found are a live 20mm shell, heaps of live ammo ranging from very early to modern (and .22BB Cap to .50 BMG) and bits of exploded shells and munitions of all sorts .
