Was out this arvo at a domain that has potential but the grass was quite long, old abandoned domain now full of sheep. Then tried another well hunted domain, 4 silvers today, silver plated Maori chief badge, $21 in spendies, little drummer soldier man, a whistle and a pile of penny's.
Also had a couple short hunts over the past week and managed 6 silvers ( not shown).

Disused domain - Nice.

That drummer looks in much better nick than my one. At least I can now see what he looked like before the sea got to him!

I'm beginning to think the little drummer men may have been a free toy from a cereal box lol

It was the cereal box comment that jogged my memory as to where id seen it before.
There's a whole series of these kinder surprise toy soldiers huns,swiss, Scots and picts etc usually about 4-10 from each country.
