    Default Relics from the goldfields.

    Hi all
    I spent a wonderfull day on the goldfields at Heathcote Vic today.
    Weather was superb, mid 20's no wind, brilliant sunshine.

    Anyway, here is what I gleaned from the ground.
    I am always in awe when I dig some treasure up, no matter how trivial it may seem, as I am the first person to touch it in over 150 years.

    Lots of metal buttons, dohickies, and bullets.
    I got 3 musket balls this time too.

    Sounds like fun Al

    Don't have any trouble with "Job'sworth" types coming up and bleating about "hey, you can't do that here, not without a permit"....

    BTW does having a small stock of musket balls count as "being in possession of ammunition"?

    You only need a permit to seek gold, and seeing as how I dont seek gold I dont need the permit.
    That doesnt mean that if I find gold, Im going to kiss it and chuck it back.

    Not that I have found too much gold, I have only found a few grams worth, and yes I had a permit then.......

    Did the musket miss his balls?
