Right, so after seeing Mudwiggle's hall of fame topic, I thought that it would be a good idea to make one topic where everyone could post their best finds!

The Rules:
1. you can post a maximum of 2 finds per category
2. you can only make one post which must contain all your finds in the appropriate categories
3. you must put "["SPOILER] [/SPOILER"]" tags around each category (this keeps the images from being displayed immediately)
4. please do not reply with comments on finds but rather "thank" the person's post (keeps this from going too crazy)
5. you can edit your post as many times as you want if you manage to get a better find
6. you do not need to have a find for each category
7. you can only post your finds

The Categories:
1. Coins
2. Jewellery
3. Relics
4. Military
5. Minerals (nuggets, pyrite, other rocks and such )
6. Bottles
7. Junk (we all get it... but some junk is another man's treasure)
8. Collections (i.e. all your silver coins, or pennies, etc)
9. Miscellaneous (because there is bound to be other stuff we manage to find ;) )

PS. if you can think of any more categories just let me know!

what about just a collection category...... I have mine spread out on a table type thing all together and much easier to take pic of the lot than trying to separate out and having to put all back in it's place...lol

Those cannon balls could be balls used in a crushing plant could they? They use ones like that at macraes gold mine in the rock crusher. Massive targets there Keith!
