Well done William. Great array of curious finds. Brilliant what you can find with the 6” coil. Great hunt. Take care mate 😁👍👍

Thanks Andrew, yes it was a good day for variety :) 👍🏼

[@WalkaboutMick67]

Some interesting finds there, I like how you do research on items cheers

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Thankyou :) Yes it was a good day for a variety of some unusual finds, it’s always interesting digging around trying to research the items, you learn some history that otherwise you would never have known 😅 👍🏼

Unusual and beautiful buckle mate. Great find and video 😊

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Thankyou 😄

[@DetectingOz]

Some more interesting items came up for you in a well worked spot.That signed slipper/shoe is unusual.Amazing how the 6 inch coil can find more targets missed with the bigger coil.Well done.Cheers mate.👍

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Thankyou it was a good day for a variety of unusual things, yes the little coil is great for that 👍🏼

[@GR19611]

Enjoyed the interesting finds.

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Thankyou glad you enjoyed 😃👍🏼

Interesting finds. I love the curious and different. I prefer the little sniper coil. I use that in preference to the bigger size unless it is a large area with hardly any targets.

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Thankyou , yes it’s always good when you get a few more unusual finds, I particularly love finding things someone has mended or inscribed something on, the little coil is a great tool , if I have a spot I’ve found a few coins or relics I’ll usually go over it again with the 6” coil 😄👍🏼

Thankyou 👍🏼

[@MrPaulie1456]

Great finds mate.

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Thankyou :)

[@Working925detecting]

Yep I agree with joke4301 for sure a spinning dice. The first target you dug up sorta resembles the slide part off a black powder flask maybe.

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Yes I found out they are called a teetotum ……… I can’t find any quite like the one I found but the soldiers apparently used to make them from coins during WW1 except the ones they made had each opposite numbers equaling to 7 (1 opposite 6 …. 2 opposite 5 ……etc ) id never thought of a powder flask 😄 👍🏼

[@johnno.1985]

💯 a dice, it’s like a top as stated and the number to corresponding edge touching when stops is what ya get, not sure from what game/s though

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Thankyou , Yes I did some more searching and I found they are called a “teetotum” unlike the one I found , the ones the soldiers made in WW1 had the numbers arranged so that the opposite number equaled 7. ( 1 opposite 6. 2 opposite 5 … etc) I’m assuming they were used primarily in gambling type games.

[@Working925detecting]

Is it just me or? I can't seem to get any volume.

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Hmmm I have sound here… sometimes KZbin does weird things I’ve had the same experience, I’d suggest trying again later and it will probably have sound 😅

[@Working925detecting]

@Digging_Kangaroo yeah opened and closed it a few times, definitely be checking it again till it works.

[@Working925detecting]

It's working now 😂

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

😁👍🏼
