Fossicking Historical Treasures…Western Australia

[@geoffwilson7774]

Interesting what you see in the bush. The little clay bottle had ink in them, pretty common but cool. Ole emu would be drunk with that many quondongs in im. lol

[@MarkOfftheozytar]

Ahh righto, was thinking ink, haha yeah would have been fermenting alright, must have enjoyed ’em, many of the same piles all around the place.

[@LukeClatworthy]

You certainly can find some interesting items when out bush Mark. Love the old padlock and the Jew's Harp. Real Goldfields history!

[@MarkOfftheozytar]

Yes Luke, each find fills my mind with wonder, if only we could step back in time.

That old lighter was beautiful.

[@MarkOfftheozytar]

Yeah, managed to free up the lighting lever but the flint striker is a little rusty, still working on it.

[@janeday9148]

Looks like the pipeline that runs alongside the Bruce Highway ,anywhere near Etna Creek ?

[@MarkOfftheozytar]

Nah, this one’s on the other side of Australia, run’s between Perth ( Mundaring Weir ) and Kalgoorlie.

Doesnt take long to collect a bucket full of trinkets in the scrub.

[@MarkOfftheozytar]

Yeah, around every corner, always surprises me so much history exposed.

[@crawwwfishh3284]

I couldn’t leave the harp or horse or lock. Hope u didn’t.

[@MarkOfftheozytar]

I do collect trinkets, hopefully one day they will be preserved for all to see, I often look at them in wonder of life’s past.

Walking around too much, though it’s interesting.
