Goldfields Finds

[woolshed]

It`been a while between posts, but I do go out every weekend. The Goldfields are only a twenty minute drive from home.

The Finds.





This a Melbourne Token, dated 1855. I have no idea why they would have cut it, as it had some monetary value at the time, found on an 1850s goldfield.





Half of a small powder flask. This is the smallest that I have found.



Mrs Woolshed making out that she knows what she is doing.





A happy Mrs Woolshed with her modern day coin finds. The area is a popular camping spot for the locals.



The Location, The Goldfields, Woolshed Valley, near Beechworth, Victoria, Australia.



Woolshed,,, Faces to names.



Cheers, Woolshed.
