Beginning the RESEARCH process to METAL DETECT an Old Australian Ruin

[@GarysMetalDetecting]

Live is always fun, the new area looks like a great destination.

[@brunfree]

Thanks Gary, I’m heading out today to swing and dig so excited and hoping to find a first perhaps a harmonica cord 😀

[@BoldLion]

Thank you to you ladies for the beauty and love of showing History!! I am a newby metal detectorist.

[@brunfree]

Hi Bold Lion, so good to have you join in😀welcome, history is wonderful, enjoy and blessings to you🙏😀Brun

[@BoldLion]

@@brunfree Thank you! I got blessed with a private permission that has never been touched. Please look up Marshall Texas. We have over 200 years of History! My first apartment is only four blocks from the old square and courthouse! My neighbor hood is beautiful! The oldest house in my neighborhood that I know of is only a block around the corner built in 1845. I am going live in a few to show off the neighborhood. If you and Jane are interested please come on by.

Hello 👋 Brun. The gate is beautiful! Your description of what was once there has brought me back in time. 😊

[@brunfree]

Oh that’s fantastic I’m so glad you have nice memories of yesteryear

[@deenewnham5428]

G'day Brun.. Wow.. beautiful old gem.. you can imagine the big veggie garden out the back.. swing in a tree.. Was that an old cellar?..have fun.. bye..🌻

[@brunfree]

Omg yes the swing… the tree… I reckon it’s a cellar yes… probably used to hang mutton etc.. I’ve seen similar and I’m hoping to find a harmonica curd or something I’ve not found before to show n tell at a Probus Ladies event I’m speaking at soon 😀bye Brun

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

Very sweet . Wonderful old building. I cant wait to move to the homestead , there are many old logging camps I want to detect .

[@brunfree]

Logging camps will be very nice to detect you’ll have to take us along😀

[@jeandigshistory]

Absolutely loved this video, Brun! 👏👏👍

[@brunfree]

Jean what is the keyhole cover plate called that was in my more recent vid that premiered

[@jeandigshistory]

@@brunfree It appeared to be an escutcheon for a keyhole… a metal piece that surrounds for protection or to add decoration around something else. Other examples: Drawer pulls on antiques furniture,electrical switches, and door knobs. Range from plain to very ornate. If I remember correctly, your piece in the video didn’t appear to have holes for attachment points. If this is true..it most likely was part of a 2 piece. It sat underneath (perhaps inlayed) with another part on top that would have been fastened by nails or screws.

[@brunfree]

@@jeandigshistory thanks for this info it’s a great resource for me to learn this stuff 😀

[@jeandigshistory]

@@brunfree Happy to help anytime, Brun.

[@PandJsHomesteadAdventure]

Wow Brun! We liked everything about this video! That gate is amazing! Honestly never knew a peppercorn tree can grow that big! Don't you just want to move in LOL so excited to see your next video! Hi to J!

[@brunfree]

We r driving there now and J says hi back😀

[@PandJsHomesteadAdventure]

Howdy Brun👍☕👍

[@brunfree]

Hi and good to see ya here❤️

[@alaskacutthecord769]

Neat to see the amount of rust on those parts. Is the ocean air close? Didn't think I'd see that much rust.

[@brunfree]

Yes the ocean is very close 😀

[@gingercat2879]

I had a gate like that it was called a Sunshine gate

[@brunfree]

@@gingercat2879 hi, that’s great thank you, I’ll remember that😀

[@OffTrailTreasures]

I see we're cut from the same cloth!

[@brunfree]

Yeah, I like detecting and history stuff, plus other things 😀

[@Currym0n]

Again you put Flinders archaeology department to shame with your get in and get on with it approach without all the bureaucratic mumbo jumbo. post archaeology graduate. Paul

[@brunfree]

History belongs to all of us. I like showing people what is there. It’s no point leaving things to rot and not sharing it. Thanks for watching.
