Mt Morgan General Meeting and Detect Day August 2019

What a fantastic venue to hold a General meeting, the old Leichhardt Hotel in Mt Morgan. Great old pub with delicious food and great hospitality. It was a very good turn out from our members, we also had quite a number of new members joining our wonderful club. I personally would like to say a big welcome to all the new members and hope you enjoyed the meeting as much as we did.

Andrew secured us a club permission at the showgrounds, a very old and historic place. The amount of people that would have visited there over the years to attend the annual shows and events would go back many decades. We were not let down with finds either, a number of pre-decimal coins were found, including pennys, half pennys, threepences and shillings. A couple of other ripper finds, being an old timers razor, a Women’s Royal Australian Army Corps Button and a Wide Bay Regiment Brass Shoulder Title Badge. There was also a liitle bit of jewellery, spendables, and a couple of old buckles found on the day.

July 2019 Meeting

We had a small but good gathering at the polo cross club on Saturday. Was quite a warm old day and the flies loved us, the good old Aussie outdoors.

A few finds came out of the ground, although it was very hard. We really need a good drop of rain to soften things up. Among the odds and ends found were a few tokens a couple of the good old Aussie Pennies, horse saddle studs, a few nice buttons, saddle bling and buckles. We also found an array of QR lead seals in various conditions among the many lead head nails and bullets. Click here for pics guys.

Until next time round happy hunting!
