    Dear Beau, you are almost in my territory! Only another 6-8hrs to fly to NZ! We had huge numbers of Chinese who came to the gold rush in the Goldfields of Otago in the 1860s. Some of the same men (and women) did the Otago gold fields, the Australian AND the Californian. It was exciting times in the mid 19thC.
    So many Australians and New Zealander have Chinese ancestry thanks to these incredibly hard working people in the 19thC . They were treated appallingly by both the white Australians and the government. In NZ their treatment was a bit better.
    Great to see you travel the world - well Oz at least. Hope you were able to bring your wife with you, she will love the wildlife. Have a fantastic time, stay away from the water ( full of crocs) and remember your sunscreen! XxxPS I recommend cuddling a 🐨 lol
    PPS I just realised why you are not coming to NZ. It’s a bit short on finds. Of ANY sort. It’s a challenge to find a thing! Mind you, if anyone could find a relic it would be The Chigg! Right, enough fangirling.......

    LOL You soon learnt my trick. The shaded areas are always the best place to detect. Snider rifles fired a .577 The Martini Henry fired 577/450 . So a necked down 577 to 450 cal. The lids off those opium tins had Chinese characters on them . One said "double happiness" Yes those picks are all that will work in this country. I stay home on hot days . LOL. I hunt with my AT Pro on full discrimination.

    I delivered a truck load of hay 23 years ago in California. I kicked a few washers on the ground. Later I picked them up. They were iron 300+ year old Chinese coin's. I found out it was a Chinese labor camp and they built the barn.

    @troysvisualarts 4 года назад

    Great to see you hunting here in the land down under and was an enjoyable to watch! Chinese coins here in Australia are common in the gold field areas where there used to be gold rushes back in the 19th century as the Chinese were big on getting their share back in the day. I've personally found a Chinese coin myself at a small park in front of a local train station would you believe, it dates 1796-1820, it had a drilled hole at the rim so someone must of worn it as a pendant in I guess the mid to late 20th century and lost it there sometime in that period.

    I metal detected along the grade of the Trans- Continental railroad north of the Great Salt Lake. Out there look for the slight hills on the flat areas. The Chinese gambled with them in some kind of game. They are Cash Coins, 1000 brass = 1 silver, 100 silver= 1 gold. I have seen a silver cash coin. Copper sheet metal was Chinese Tea cans. Opium came in small glass bottles of very poor quality. Look for Chinese whiskey bottles!
