Detector(s) used
Famous-Trails-MD9100 ACE250-PRO
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
Hello fellow treasure hunters,

Today was the first day to try out my Ace250, meet up with friends (non-treasure hunters) and headed out to a cemetery to see the resting place of allegedly Dan or Ned Kelly. :o
The other reason was that there is a headstone angel who was seen to cry blood ::)
(Note: NO metal detecting was done in the cemetery)

On the way back to the car a brown snake (extremely dangerous!) followed us, took a quick snap for you guys.
Then we head out to a ex-USA military out post used during WW2, I taught my mate how to swing a metal detector and he seemed to really enjoy it so we might have a new member soon :thumbsup:

If you ever have the opportunity not to drive - TAKE IT! you have no idea how much you miss when you're concentrating on the road! I found a whole bunch of places to detect at, anyhow I was dropped off back home and friends went home, I went back to the ex military area myself for a couple of hours.

I found my first bullet, my first gold coin, my first really old nail, a bike chain? and 2 bits of iron.
I also spied some nice caves to check out, let me tell you now, its really hard trying to swing a detector in the bush!! trying to avoid hitting the coil on rocks and tress and avoid walking into spider webs whilst keeping an eye out for snakes! And in some parts it turned into rock climbing/metal detecting (left the detector on as you never know were you might get a signal hehe) :D

Re: New detector, new places, new finds with danger and mystery maybe even a gho

centenary of woman's suffrage 1 dollar 2003 Australia (not old :( , does even count?? colour is right)
*Update* - 2003 $1 Centenary of Women's Suffrage, mintage: 10,007,000 (rare)

I also found a 1981 20cent coin in a park, and so much foil and targets all over the place that I called it a day - I kept digging up broken glass and shredded tin cans, i really tried to get some jewelery or some decent finds... like a bomb or something along those lines...

Oh well I'm wee bit richer and learning my new detector, I just kept it in all metal and dug everything.
I didn't mention that I found a whole bunch of wire, and pull tabs, bottle tops, sun glasses and a lighter.

I really wanted to find a bullet so I can tick that one off the list, it was a very faint signal stuck in sandy/rocky ground.

thanks midnightmoon, I love to find many more.
 
"If you ever have the opportunity not to drive...Take It".Good advice Tommi.Hope you're wearing snake boot's or something out there.Glad you got out.Cool pic's and find's.

Congrats on the new detector. I think you will end up loving it. Keep sending us pics of your finds and of the wildlife..hmmm...how bout a kangaroo..lol HH and GL

Tommi;
Glad to see you are enjoying that new detector. I see my old digger is being put to use! Congrats on your finds....many more to come! Wish I could be there now! I need to get a big find to cash in so I can come and visit! Cya later mate!
 
Congrats on the new detector and cool adventure you had. I remember watching Steve Irwin handling those brown snakes on TV and saying one bite mate and I am a goner. He made wrangling dangerous snakes look easy. What a shame ,he was my one of my heroes! :(
 
Nice snake tommi, you can have it i have plenty of those of my own lol . I would sure like to known how Dan Kelly and Steve Hart got out of a burning hotel, surrounded by dozens of Victorian Troopers armed with 45 cal Martini's [carbines] . James Ryan could tell a good yarn. lol No escape to Queensland as New South Wales and Victoria had hundreds of soldiers blocking every escape route. Ned kelly remains where found at the old Pentridge Jail the other week and where moved to this site in 1920,s from the old Melbourne jail.Glenrowan was where it all ended for the Kelly Gang.Seems some states even try to steal Victoria's history. lol

So glad you are enjoying the new detector and obviously doing a mighty fine job with it! Congrats on some great finds and thanks for taking us along with you and sharing the many sights of the day! Keep at it!! Happy hunting! :thumbsup:

civalman1 - No snake boots, just joggers, snakes normally swivel the other way!
freeze12 - thanks mate :)
allen - true, but I need to find more! I would love to find some gold rings... with diamonds :)
SC_hunter - next time I'm out I'll specially try and get a pic of a roo for you :) I love the ace, haven't tried the big coil yet...

tabfinder - buy a lotto ticket! get over here and hunt some gold nuggets, apparently there is a mini gold rush. The treasurewise digger is my favorite, its perfect for cutting holes in a half moon, and digging a small hole down, thanks once again :)

birdman, yeh, I miss steve too, he was my hero also.
tinpan, thanks mate, I believe that James Ryan was one of the original Kelly's. I've seen the doco, and the interview.
Cynangyl - I love the painting your? holding, I'm still learning how to use the ace, every time I come on here and see what others find with there aces it spurs me on!

Hi Tommi If in fact james ryan was infact a"Kelly " Why was not he sent back to Victoria to stand trail for the murder of 3 Colonial policemen.I well a ware with kelly story and the Irish cathlic suppressed by the british colonial Government.But a point of law he and the rest of the kelly gang where cop killers and Ned was hanged for it.so its seems James Ryan told a Yarn lol.

Great pictures and finds. Thanks for taking us along on your trip! After some practice you will love the ACE. You might wish to order a Sniper coil for those tight places you hunt. They are only about $63. I ordered my husband one and he should get it today.

Watch out for those snakes! And Happy Hunting,
Pepper
 
that snake needs a shovel. is that ned kelly's armor suit or just a copy ? pretty cool either way. I watched the movie a few years back, funny how things snowball out of proportion. I have heard he is considered one of australias folk hero's ?

thank you for sharing.
 
hey pepper, yeh was thinking about it... not at the moment... need to find some diamonds or big nuggets :(
snake is cool, its minding its own business doing what snakes do... living life... taking it day after day... sliver after sliver...
its a copy, indeed a famous folk hero.. :)
 
you should read a bit more history tinpan and get your facts right

I Beg your pardon, Sure like to see your clear evidence of the events of the Glenrowan Shot out.There was a 100 people who saw DAN KELLY inside the burning hotel on that day.All accounts where recorded at the time of this event. Fact :tongue3: Heres 2 links and if you want 500 more can give.
