Рет қаралды 66,962
4 жыл бұрынMetal detecting for relics and gold nuggets in Australia is tonight's video. Please join me, NQ Explorers (KZfaq) and our friend George as we journey deep into the Australian bush on a mega awesome camping trip. This is our first stop to search for gold nuggets, relics, coins and artifacts boy oh boy do we find the coins. Many date from the 1600's!
I wish to give special thanks to Garrett Metal Detectors USA and Garrett Australia for sponsoring me on this trip to the Land Down Under. Also many thanks to my guides and protectors during this awesome journey in this alien world, Warren and Colleen of NQ Explorers (KZfaq).

LOL You soon learnt my trick. The shaded areas are always the best place to detect. Snider rifles fired a .577 The Martini Henry fired 577/450 . So a necked down 577 to 450 cal. The lids off those opium tins had Chinese characters on them . One said "double happiness" Yes those picks are all that will work in this country. I stay home on hot days . LOL.

Dear Beau, you are almost in my territory! Only another 6-8hrs to fly to NZ! We had huge numbers of Chinese who came to the gold rush in the Goldfields of Otago in the 1860s. Some of the same men (and women) did the Otago gold fields, the Australian AND the Californian. It was exciting times in the mid 19thC. So many Australians and New Zealander have Chinese ancestry thanks to these incredibly hard working people in the 19thC . They were treated appallingly by both the white Australians and the government. In NZ their treatment was a bit better. Great to see you travel the world - well Oz at least. Hope you were able to bring your wife with you, she will love the wildlife. Have a fantastic time, stay away from the water ( full of crocs) and remember your sunscreen! XxxPS I recommend cuddling a 🐨 lol PPS I just realised why you are not coming to NZ. It’s a bit short on finds. Of ANY sort. It’s a challenge to find a thing! Mind you, if anyone could find a relic it would be The Chigg! Right, enough fangirling.......

Great to see you hunting here in the land down under and was an enjoyable to watch! Chinese coins here in Australia are common in the gold field areas where there used to be gold rushes back in the 19th century as the Chinese were big on getting their share back in the day. I've personally found a Chinese coin myself at a small park in front of a local train station would you believe, it dates 1796-1820, it had a drilled hole at the rim so someone must of worn it as a pendant in I guess the mid to late 20th century and lost it there sometime in that period.

I metal detected along the grade of the Trans- Continental railroad north of the Great Salt Lake. Out there look for the slight hills on the flat areas. The Chinese gambled with them in some kind of game. They are Cash Coins, 1000 brass = 1 silver, 100 silver= 1 gold. I have seen a silver cash coin. Copper sheet metal was Chinese Tea cans. Opium came in small glass bottles of very poor quality. Look for Chinese whiskey bottles!

The Chinese kept they coins on a cord, so its not surprising if you found a stack of them together. It just shows the different way of thinking, we put coins in a bag, the Chinese put a hole in them for threading a string through them. Which is a very primitive way to do it. A lot of the stone age cultures did the same with certain sea shells as currency, some still do.
