THANKS HEAPS SANTA..for my unexpected prezzies...

[Des from down under]

HI AND HOPE YOU ARE ALL DOING WELL !! I had two hours to make myself scarce while the wife was doing the xmas shopping..it came together for me..just one of those unexpected better hunts I guess..an old fort site..forgotten and dissapeared , I stumbled across it years ago . a place that troopers of mid 1800 camped at for short time in there excursions around the North Island of New Zealand...not having long I hunted in discriminate and dug only high numbers..
nailed some early royal engineer buttons and our own militia constabulary buttons again ..couldn't believe my luck...some old snider drops and an ole enfeild .577...great..now of to pick up the boss..lol..thanks for looking members and have a good one ..ok..regards and merry xmas, ,from the land of the long white cloud..

The only mistake we from down under made was we didn,t kill all the redcoats when we had the chance.
