Beginning the RESEARCH process to METAL DETECT an Old Australian Ruin

  • I have a new permission site of a late 1800’s Australian sheep property with a ruin homestead. I will be metal detecting the property for my interest in history of the area. This is how I start the process, I like to look and walk around the property and imagine how it was once worked and lived in. I look at the old home and the entrance roadway, the trees and shaded areas, all the creek beds and water areas, this is how the settlers lived. They washed clothes near water, animals drank nearby, under trees the children played, menfolk played the harmonica, ladies rested in the shade. Horses stayed cool under trees. Many things can be found that were lost or discarded back in those days. Metal detectors today are great machines, I use the Manticore and dig deep. Covering all my holes neatly, I share my findings with anyone that is interested, history belongs to everyone. We all came into existence because of our history.

      @@brunfree Thank you! I got blessed with a private permission that has never been touched. Please look up Marshall Texas. We have over 200 years of History! My first apartment is only four blocks from the old square and courthouse! My neighbor hood is beautiful! The oldest house in my neighborhood that I know of is only a block around the corner built in 1845. I am going live in a few to show off the neighborhood. If you and Jane are interested please come on by.

      Jean what is the keyhole cover plate called that was in my more recent vid that premiered

    • @jeandigshistory
      @jeandigshistory 5 месяцев назад

      @@brunfree It appeared to be an escutcheon for a keyhole… a metal piece that surrounds for protection or to add decoration around something else. Other examples: Drawer pulls on antiques furniture,electrical switches, and door knobs. Range from plain to very ornate. If I remember correctly, your piece in the video didn’t appear to have holes for attachment points. If this is true..it most likely was part of a 2 piece. It sat underneath (perhaps inlayed) with another part on top that would have been fastened by nails or screws.
