Most seemed to be at st Kilda when i went there for a swing. 2 old 20c an old spoon and a good pair of scissors is all i found. just to many people. Heading to central towards end of week as i have a grandson racing at the speedway in youth saloons and may hang arround the area for a while after that Cheers and success for 2013

How did you go out in Mosgiel ?

Best find was a mans wedding ring, i was told he lost it just a few days before and was shown roughly where to look and about 1/2hr later i found it in long grass, I handed it in to the secretary who contacted the owner then 2 days later this very grateful guy turns up with a large box of biscuits and a very emotional story to tell. Yea so that was my best find
