Your supposed to smile when you are heavily armed with a shovel!

Wish my house was that tidy - I live in what looks like an Bangkok Gambling, Opium den and brothel after a police raid. Before you come down this way Shane it might pay to pitch your tent in the local rubbish tip for a couple of days to acclimatise yourself!

I like the treasures - cool.

A Pirates Treasure

Went to see the Pirateman the other day and he kindly let me take some pics of his treasure. An interesting collection to say the least. Check out the snake in the bottle. There is also GOLD in a bottle and the water in it has turned 'blackish'.

Some Far North finds by Chrisyboy

These finds are recent and some real classics. A silver ring that seems to weigh about an ounce.
An 1862 ch-ch grocer token (a couple of meters away we also found an 1855 shilling). A 9ct GOLD bracelet. And a blue crystal like stone found on a beach. It looks a bit like rich cobalt blue obsidian in a crystal form. Magnified it looks awesome and there are what appears to be very very tiny dark red ruby like rocks attached to it.

It is the Pirateman's personal collection. He is a top trader in used goods and collectables. He has a mean as battleship collection which i believe is for sale. I have some pics which i will post later.
Arrgh...I cant remember what was written on ye shnake bottle.

A re-hash of some old time badboy capguns.

These have been collected or found by Crisyboy and myself. There are more to show but it will take a week to round all the pics up.

These first three are in working order but i wouldnt push them. The brown handled one was made in Italy.

Treasure Hunter returns. Nothin like a good post to rehash a thread.

This time with a nice garage sale score.
Got the visit from Pirateman today and he had a GOLD gleam in his eye. He had been pickin and scored this old time badge/medal combo.
The pics clearly show the find with a Silver Shilling with GOLD plating, a Gold Half Sovereign and a Silver Florin. It was quite exciting as this was the first sovereign i have ever seen.
