What a fun, if wet, day. Was indeed nice seeing everybody again (Paul, nice meeting you). Here is my significant finds for the day. A 1910 ONE Penny and what I am told is a Cap Badge. Good enough for fourth place!

Hey it was a touch miz with the rain really comming down at the end during prize giving.We spent most of the day in light to moderate rain thanks to Paul who brought it with him from Maritzburg!!...Overall it was a great day with the Kraft family cleaning up with two machines ...Hats off to George and his Minelab team for having the guts to brave the weather and put on a fantastic event.Welldone to too all the people that showed up and took part in the day!


Lol Tony, only the Mpumalanga side of the family. I did not even get one to hand in to be judged. Feels strange to blank. Guess Lady Selborne have spoiled me totally. Guess it is time for me to learn how to hunt hey  ;) ;D

Hi All, congrats to all that won prizes. It was really a fun day inspite of the weather, and it was nice to see all the people. I only took a couple of pictures but will ad them.

Cheers and Happy Hunting :)

I unfortunately didn't get to take pics of my finds cos i didn't want to take my phone out in the rain.

This is what i found though:
1 x signet ring (maybe gold plated but wearing off)
1 x Queens visit medal (my first one ever)
1 x General service button
1 x half of a gunpowder flask with a bit of fancy on it (i will post a pic from google of what it used to look like)
1 x 1925 Farthing (excellent condition)
1 x belt buckle with the same design as a general service button on it
1 x little keyhole
1 x small pocket knife (really old)
1 x plain button. Size of R5 coin. Looked old
4 x spent rifle cartridges (looked like blanks)

And lots of rubbish. I had a really great day, and i am glad i found some cool stuff. The powder flask was one half of the example you see below. It was flat :D
