Treasures found around Ghost Town - Detecting for Coins & Relics around abandoned Gold Mining Town
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 дек 2021
- Metal Detecting for relics and coins around the ghost town of Old Halls Creek; there have to be buried treasures here. My metal detector seems to agree, indicating many signals underneath the coil. Swinging the Minelab Equinox 800 I even find some coins that must have been dropped by the early miners that used to live in the gold mining town in Western Australia. Here, gold was first discovered in 1885. The ghost town of Old Halls Creek was abandoned in the 1950s.

Must be Sunday, good to see you again Krissy. Happy hunting
Some antique marbles have radio active glass and glow nicely when exposed to shortwave light.....Remember lead is also worth money.
Nice change up. Nature shots are great Krissy. Love the equinox .Thanks for Sunday entertainment stay cool 👍🏻
Looked like a lot of fun. Very good video production. Thanks for sharing your beautiful country. Best of luck on your next hunt🤞🍺
Gotta love the coins...I generally like whatever I find as it all has a story... keep up the great work and keep the vids coming very enjoyable👍💯
What ever videos you put out has to be interesting, so keep them coming, and you never know what you can discover.
It’s great to see the smile when you find something, keep going Dear Lady
Nice treasures Krissy, enjoyed the history also. Thx for sharing.
I love old places like that. You even got some coins. I always get a odd feeling just thinking about what happened there many years ago. Good luck and good hunting. Be sweet.
I always like finding pennies too. Yes I'm still on the hunt for a 1930s penny aswall. Can't wait for your next video Krissy. Take care in our beautiful country.
My 102yr aunt left us a big bag of coins. We got about $40. When we first looked, many of them were pennies....all years...except the one we wanted. Heaps were near mint too.
$200k or more now for a 30 isn't it?
Thanks Crissy always enjoy exploring with you must be that smile
This was fun! Those old one penny coins are huge!
Nice little adventure down in the creek, coins and researching them is just as much fun as finding them.
Cheers, Pete
Good assortment of finds Crissy! Please film a tour of the town and all history you can find! Your happy face shines stronger than the sun.
I enjoy your videos, thank you. Keep looking out for other wild horses.
Hi Krissy. Good to see you again. Some nice relics. Happy hunting. Stay safe and cool if possible. Love your work. 👍
nice one Krissy, always interesting Aussie numismatics
Some wonderful pictures of birds and flies and little fish. Thks again.
Many thanks to you! Loved watching and filming those little critters, some of them are really fascinating to watch!
Hope all is going well, Glad to see that positive attitude finding Gold!
That was good Chrissy. I enjoyed that. I slept on a gravel bar in that creek once. I take it that the mud-brick post office has been pulled down or worn away? It was there still when I visited a few times. There is a stone hut further down that track off to your right. I remember seeing black throated finches, spinifex pigeons, and huge flocks of budgerigars.
The building you're talking about is still there, people were having lunch there when I was filming
There have to be more comfortable places to sleep than a gravel bar, must have been a good party 😂
Nice finds Krissy. A tour of Halls Creek would be nice!
Very good trip, thank for sharing, because your country is so beautiful.
Thank you again Kristen for this latest video. I find them fascinating and informative . Please keep them coming.
Nice finds Krissy!! 🦊⛏️🐴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great adventure..!!
Even finding old coins is fun. Still stuck in Michigan. I'll make up for though. Continue enjoying yourself I enjoy your videos.
So nice to see something different.
Hi Krissy,
Love to see a little gold rush history, my great grand parent's were part of it , Kalgoorlie 1906 to 1909, before your penny was made, stay safe, keep cool...
Yes, would enjoy a tour & history lesson. Thx!
Tour, video, history. Yea!
I for sure would love to see some videos about that old town then some about the new town also.... I enjoy every video you make. You are a very special young lady that's totally blessed beyond measure. So I'll keep on praying that God will continue blessing you... BBE...
Yay!! 12.2K followers. Next stop 15K. Let’s go Krissy! Love your heartfelt vids. We get to enjoy your journeys. We don’t fight the flys. Remember, if you kill one fly, 100 come to the funeral.
Thanks, Cisco! Slowly getting there. The flies haven't been too bad around here, I'm surprised 👍🏻
Looking forward to next week Krissy
Good to see you Krissy 🙂 luv your videos my friend ❤
Loved the old pennys, Tans jealous 😂👍
Hi Krissy,
From the late 1800's a bottle was made with a marble inside, the Codd bottle was fairly common in Australia, The file or rasp might be for horses feet, the horse and cart was common means of carrying water and goods throughout the gold fields.
Well done Krissy.
The equinox 800 is definitely a wonderful detector..I still use a CTX 3030..
Merry Christmas 🎄
Famo59 👍🎄🍻🤓⛏
Im a ctx boy too!
@@samroberts8365
I still think it’s still the
Rolls Royce of treasure hunting.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
@@Famo59 just need to eat your spinach. The weight compared to the nox is heavy.
Love my ctx though, forever and ever lol
@@samroberts8365
You definitely got that right.
Cheers 🍻
I love watching your videos Krissy.
Great video Kristin like the finds and i always find its fun detecting with the nox.
Cool finds Krissy. A tour of the town would be nice.
I agree with the others that a tour of the area and a history lesson would be interesting. Great finds on the coins. Congratulations. Love the 1912. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Thanks for the great wildlife shots and nugget hunting. Very interesting dragonfly's with their tails vertical. I wonder why they do that? Love your channel.
Oh yes! I always like to see and hear about the wonderful places you go! I will never be able to wander there in person but I can tag along with you via video! Please do show us around!
Take care hun! Stay cool and safe!
Love your work Krissy
Krissy the lead was used to fix old pots and pans as they were not easy to come across when in the field’s…I have seen it done as a kid, as we followed dad. I am in my late 60’s so seen a lot. Lived in a lot of old gold towns
Love anything you post but a history lesson would be great
Cool finds Krissy!
Awesome hunt and finds. Great job!
Gold on the Equinox is usually low numbers from 1 all the way up to as high as 14-15
As usual, plenty of information which makes your videos interesting. Keep it up and stay safe. xx
Thanks Robert!
Great video. I always like to see history and artifacts uncovered, even if it's not my own country.
Another wonderful video, I love it when you're relic hunting Kristin, it is so fun to watch your excitement when you find old timers forgotten rubbish (treasure), definitely do a tour. Top marks 👌
Must say Krissy since you've gone solo your videos are better than ever.
Thank you, Mehmet! I take more time for the videos now, filming, editing and everything that goes with it.
Please do a tour of the area would be awesome, that was a good hunt and great video of the red dragonflies, have a great week
Thanks Krissy , I look forward to your stories every Sunday.
You have a way about you that everyone enjoys, and you do seem happy.
Not that you didn’t before, it must be your nature.
Great to share your fun and excitement.
Thank you, David, life is more enjoyable with a smile 😁
Another fantastic video OGF
Nice one Krissy 😃👍
I would love to learn more about the history there! Can’t wait to see your next gold prospecting video!
Hi Krissy, thanks for keeping us entertained, and enlightened on the history of the Australian gold rush. I'm glad you found some nice coins. Always a pleasure watching your videos.
Good stuff krissy, I found a 36 penny a long time ago.
Another great video Krissy! A horse rasp has bigger teeth. That look like a metal file.
They could have used it to rasp hooves when resetting shoes or sharpening their digging tools. Nice find!
It's funny seeing people find stuff in really unusual places like that. Anyway great video 🙏 for you to find that 10 oz nugget
Thank you
Nice 🤠
Your chunk of lead reminds me of a piece of amalgam (gold encrusted with mercury) I found many years ago at an old town site. I thought it was lead too until I hit it and it was way more malleable (softer) than lead would be. Your piece is probably lead, but lumps of amalgam are out there.
that is incredible WOW
Your relic hunt just made my coffee taste that bit better, I also like to hit the old mining towns now have 9 Sov under my belt , to be sure cut up the lead to ensure it is not musking any secert.
Check in all tins and must of all any bullet case you find and has been crippled over open them up in a pan and I have found a few in my time that have have panned gold inside them as they didn't have contains like we do those days
Keep up the good work and we all will be looking forward to your hunts in the new year.
Merry Christmas
Detrack
Hi Detrack, the old timers surely were inventive: bullet casings as gold containers. Something I haven't thought about before. Thanks for mentioning that, stay safe!
The file is a hoof rasp. Used to trim the horses hooves.
Amazing how heavy those metal objects get on a very hot day.
Even my pick gets so hot it burns when I touch it
The only thing besides build quality on the equinox that I dislike is the small ID window of only 40 numbers. Minelab failed in that area. Target ID can hinder you yes but also it comes in handy when hitting multiple targets all together. I have other detectors with 99 ID numbers which I love. Another great video!
Great video
The best cup of tea I ever had was out of a billabong that dirty.
The fish in those creeks and rivers love broken-up cheezels and twisties. When the water doesnt flow, they get pretty hungry! Little Archer fish are fun to watch there too, they squirt water at nearby insects!
Archer fish are amazing, haven't seen any here yet but enjoy watching them getting the bugs!
Cool find 1950 Australian penny
Another fantastic trip to the outback. Lovely drone shots and bits of history! -5C and flurries here in Newfoundland tonight...no snow in your forecast I'm guessing! Have fun finding more coins! Love to hear more about that historic town! Lol...I was minted in 1950 and have been told I'm pretty crusty too!
No snow over here, a heat wave is passing through instead... The starch of a potato could get the crust of, I heard, maybe worth a try? 😁
Hahahaha..I'll have to try that! Stay safe!
What a fun day! Those big pennies are spectacular and ooze history. The Equinox is gaining a big following in America as a primary gold machine at the low end and is preferred by many over the Gold Monster. Most small nuggets ring up at 1 or 2 but large nuggets can go into the upper teens. Enjoy and stay safe and healthy.
Hi Randy, I always thought the Gold Monster was more popular for finding gold. Maybe it is here in Australia. Love the Equinox so far and will love it even more after it finds a nugget. Thanks, Krissy
@@OutbackGoldFever Krissy, you are correct. The Gold Monster is more popular but a growing number of advanced detectorists are singing the praises of the Equinox for gold because of its multi frequency advantages.
Love your videos. You have taken Outback Gold Fever to a new level.
Hi Krissy
Love your videos, looks like you are enjoying your detecting and having lots of fun. A tour video would be great. Merry Christmas.
Interesting stuff.
The pencil sharpener is for starting fires you make kindling with it by sharpening twiggs
Tops as usual
Awesome
Thanks 😁
Files were used to sharpen shovels, picks and chisels as well as trimming hooves
Krissy, the tins we call sardine were apparently actually bully beef tins. mainly that shape now is used for fish. the marble may be mine. Am sure that I,ve lost a few marbles out detecting. love your adventures out t
prospecting. Noel
Thanks for that, Noel 😂
Well cant find Gold every time. :))) But it is very cool you found 2 coins. :)))
Very interesting finds....would love to hear a little more history of Halls creek area...hope you find the sister of the 28ounce nugget!!
Hi Sharyn, the dirt track there is called 'Duncan Road' and it wouldn't surprise me if there was a big nugget sitting right on the road somewhere.
Here's to the luck of clan Duncan to help you find that clunking huge nugget
I love the old coins. I run the 6" coil on my Equinox and it is great in trashy areas. I am looking at the SDC2300 for packing into areas I want to hunt.
What a nice video I can watch and go to a whole nother world. curious and briefly Escape this helluva City I live in called Oakland California
I scanned through a few comments and haven't seen this one yet, a very handy tool to use on coins and relics is a Pinpointer, really speeds up target recovery
We find the odd Victorian coin on the goldfields of the East Coast, keep an eye out for 1923 half penny too!!!
Yeah, I use the pinpointer for deeper nuggets, should have taken it on the treasure hunt. I'll make sure to keep going on treasure and relic hunts. Enjoyed the change to gold prospecting.
Wow krissy, I just googled halls Creek and found our its miles away from anywhere
Hi Richard, 400 km to the next bigger supermarket (or hair dresser) is a fair distance! There are a few smaller shops in halls creek but very expensive, of course, and only limited goods.
@@OutbackGoldFever looks like your always having fun, good to see. Does it get lonely by yourself, or are you always bumping into people and having a chat?
Nice treasure, Kristy. Maybe that lead nugget is a promise of something better in your prospecting future.
Let's hope so, Summerland. Could do with a three ounce nugget ⛏
How about in the creek, I have the 6” coil for my NOX and when in use I onLy cover about 3” of ground each swing, this insures I do not miss a target! The search area under the coil is an inverted cone different than GPZ so the deeper the object the smaller the search area is. Watched hundreds of videos on the NOX and other machines and it amazes me how much ground is missed by detectorists swinging! this is why I try to mark the sand at the end of each swing. Small gold numbers1-2 and up, 28 oz.? Would like to know. Ty
Yes. Slim pickings on the gold but a rich history.
Wanted to share something with you about the difference between seeing and "just looking". Not a critique but an ANECDOTE. Here it comes, straight-on out of the chute: the Horse of a Different Color:
I cut my eye teeth panning Clear Creek, where it ran through Idaho Springs, Colorado USA. Worked a mile or more one Summer. Slim pickings but Nature always compensates for the trip.
Toward the end of the Season, I was panning a stretch just below the town, that started turning up "rich" with "flour gold"
(comparatively speaking).
Just upstream, I noted a gully where a seasonal feeder met the main run. I picked up my gear and went looking. Found a dirt track leading in the general direction: UPHILL. Came across a massive tailings pile and a 1950s vintage trailer, occupied by a man in his late 80s: LINK (short for Lincoln). I had learned early in my life to respect Age and its experience. Told him what I'd found down on Clear Creek.
"This is the place," he said. "Maybe you got the GIFT."
Then he took his pan and me and my pan down to the far end of the tailings pile, where a trickle of water ran from beneath. Multiple pans later I had the better part of an ounce of "flake" that had washed down through the tailings over the previous 100 years.
Link had been working the tailings for the better part of sixty-years. In the mean, he and his family survived the Great Depression and he'd put three children through college on the proceeds. When his wife passed on, he moved into the trailer full-time, supporting himself on a retirement fund and "the gold", for the previous twenty+ years before our first meeting.
I visited him and panned with him every weekend, until first snow. I brought him food (he loved Angus Beef), and a fifth of Bourbon every other trip. My wife understood the drive, and was thankful that it paid out as well as it did. Our first child was on the way.
I went up to visit in the early Spring the next year. The timing was serendipitous. I met his oldest daughter: Chief of Surgery at a Denver hospital. I told her my history with her Father. Her eyes were misted but she smiled. "No regrets, now," she said. "Da was living the Life up here. It was where he felt at home and fully expected he'd end his days with a pan in-hand, a poke full of dust and a smile on his face. I'm certain that he made it. What do you think?"
"Couldn't have said it better myself." I replied. "I'm not the praying type but I will say a prayer that he finds the Golden Gate on his way elsewhere."
"He'll appreciate that, as much as the steaks." She said. "And I appreciate the fact that someone else " cottoned" to my father as much as I did."
That said (whew!). Link shared a wisdom in parable with me my first day panning with him. As follows: "Went to town for supplies late one afternoon. Fall. Sunset came early. It was dark when I got back to my Jeep. There was a young man crawling around the street on all fours. Mighty distressed. I enquired after his purpose and welfare.
"He explained: "I was in-town getting some tobacco. Parked on 4th street, just down the block from the tobacconist. Came out and discovered that my keys were MISSING. Now I'm on hands and knees looking for them."
"But, " Link opined, "we're on 3rd Street."
"Yep!" The young man replied "But the light's better here."
I got the message.
👍
Thank you for sharing the touching story! Keys and gold are where you find them and the people driving hundreds of kilometres to get to a spot where they want to go detecting probably drive over the gold every day because it's under their wheels on the road. The universe might put us there or might not but without looking you're not going to find.
@@OutbackGoldFever Yes. Looking but not "seeing". The real "find" is in the World and the People who embrace us: on the "fly" or eye-to-eye. Either way, for those of one mind, the distance is irrelevant. Stay alive out there. May your future finds be true, and your troubles few and far between.

Hey Krissy, Good fun day... mixing it up a bit....You seem happy and enjoying life...So, Xmas in Halls Creek? Here in QLD, I know I will be enjoying some liebkuchen and xmas stollen. Yum!
As always.....Take care!.
Hi Stevie, I doubt I'll get a Stollen in Halls Creek, usually I get one every year for christmas. Love Marzipan and of course Lebkuchen, craving it as I'm writing this.
@@OutbackGoldFever Ritter Marzipan chocs...or marzipan stollen? Yum, Yum and Yum... I hope you can find something traditional for xmas in Halls Creek..Wishing you lots of gold and a Merry Xmas.
@@steviewonder8624 Luebecker, ritter, stollen - love anything marzipan. Merry christmas to you, too!
My goodness thats one big penny
Nice 1912 Australian penny
Crissy look at Two Toes video he has a shop where he sells crevicing tools( your hoof pick works great also) his shop is down in his links. Love your coins, that 1912 is awesome.
Thanks for hint, I'll have a look. I actually noticed Gary had a big crevicing tool in some of the videos I've seen.
Hi Krissy,
I had a hunt around the old village and found a old sixpence near the old pub.
Hows the remains of the old mud brick post office.
Also interesting how the death of the stock-man was the instigation of the
Royal Fling Doctor Service.
Merry Christmas mate from the
2DFERS Dennis and Donna.
So much history out there!
The 1930 penny had a mint
run of only 1200! If you find
one in uncirculated condition,
(you won’t) it is valued at
$320,000, and at least $20,000
for average condition. The
next rarest is the 1925 penny
with a run of 136,000.
I’ll keep looking 👀
✌🏻👊
Nice marble I collect thoes. I'm still looking for all my marbles lol. Have someone make a knife out of that file so you can use it knowing it came from the old timers
