Hi all, many thanks to those of you who are putting up posts and your pic's of some awesome finds. It keeps it interesting. These are a few of my finds over the past three weeks.

Always keen to get out so if any of you ChCh guys (and others) are keen to hunt let me know. I try to get out two or three times a week, weather and work permitting.

Cheers
David

Yah its Gold. I'm only guessing but thought it may be an image of the Dali Lama? It looks like a Monk and there is Asian writing on the front and back. The front is covered with glass and so was the back but it has been broken somewhere along the way.

I also tried to post 4 other pic's but for some reason they seemed to have real problems loading. I'll try to post them later.

Cheers for that. I think the pictures are still around double that so I'll reduce them further.
