Hi All , Yes still really hot down under and the last month of Summer , the snakes are shedding their skins and get a little aggressive. While detecting around an old wheel wright's shed which once stood in the Irish Quarter of the old mining town at the bottom. of the Gully i had feild day. Targets coming in thick . Digging relics in softer ground at the moment as the goldfeilds ground clay is as hard as concrete. We had no real rain since October . Many broken and ground killed items but like most of my hunts i managed little of real keepers. Nibbling through the trash with a 7x12 mono coil on a GPX is a hard way so many. But i beg to differ when you have over come heavy ground mineralization and first settlement relics are deep. Total destruction of the land scape during the 100 years of goldmining causes the unnatural soils and clays to wash down the hill and cover the the lower flats were the Irish Town once stood. Plenty of lead and steal but the one of only 3 coins to be found at this site after 6 trips made it all worth it. Finally i get to join the the Hibernia Penny Club. 
.
I risk much hunting around sites like this , the snake skin is fresh and off about 5 foot dryland Eastern Brown Snake , cousin to the Asian Cobra. Snakes generally don,t worry me only the one i can,t see. Mostly they just want to get away from you but unseen or during breeding and sheding their skin they become aggressive.
