crowns and coats of arms at the Sandhurst Coffee Palace 1851-1930

[tinpan]

Hi all, Late nite the wife asked me to duck out and finish a couple of last minute xmas jobs.Well i jumped in the car and took off hunting instead. lol After a couple of hours i still had time to finish the jobs so i had my arse covered.

Local carkpark been pulled up and i knew a large struture once stood on this site.The sandhurst coffee palace I managed to get a pic of the building which dated from 1880 but i think this was the second structure built on this site.

First signal was that of copper well it turned out to be an old spoon but relics and broken glass appeared every where so i just started diiging the area of about 10 square feet.Only about a foot down to the clay.This made for quick and easy digging.I now have a bag full of relics and a few killer silvers coins and yes another embossed pottery lid this one is in great nik [condition]

When get time after xmas lunch will post more relic pics.Heres a few pics of coins and pot lid and dig

Re: OMG =oh my goanna, That potlid is worth what

nice find mate

i suppose your going to use the money to come over here and find your roots

Now see thats funny to an Australian - we have a totally different meaning for the word 'root' - to root is to participate in, well ahem...horizontal folk dancing if you get my meaning. Hence calling someone who participates in one night stands a 'Wombat' - an animal who eats roots and leaves. To find ones roots could be construed as looking up your old girlfriends. There was an old military toast - "To wives and girlfriends, may they never meet".

Wonder what happened to our old Thunder Pots? We used them till I was ten years old. That's when we move to town and became so called civilized.
