Firstly we would like to apologise for not keeping up with your comments and questions for Part 1 and 2, we have been busy in the field and ‘off grid’ getting more great footage. We will make sure we do answer all your comments on this video – ‘Shooting Lions’. The title will be self evident as the video unfolds. We further explore this forgotten Colonial settlement and dig some fantastic relics, our adventures have been continuing and we have filmed up to Part 6 of this series! We hope you enjoy coming along with us to the ‘Lost Valley’. Happy Fossicking! Colleen and Warren.

A big thank you to Ross and his Dad for permission to detect their property.

Join us in Part 2 of our adventure where we visit a private permission deep in the Great Dividing Range, the site of a whole Colonial settlement in the late 19th Century. Now abandoned and forgotten, with even its initial purpose a mystery, the site reveals itself find by find to be one of the best areas we have visited in a long time. In this video, a run of beautiful and historic ‘Cricket Buckles’ come to light with more to follow in Part 3. We have planned several return visits to the site, so this may well be a complete mini-series documenting the ‘Lost Valley’! We hope you enjoy joining with us unearth some great Australian history! Happy Fossicking! Colleen and Warren.

On this trip we visit a private permission deep in the Great Dividing Range, where a whole Colonial settlement existed in the late 19th Century. Now abandoned and forgotten, with even it’s initial purpose a mystery, the site reveals itself find by find to be one of the best areas we have visited in a long time. Colonial coins and buttons feature in this first instalment, including a 1790 Gaming Jeton and some nice brass buckles. In Part 2, the finds really ramp up with some Colonial Australiana coming to light. We hope you enjoy joining with us unearth some great Australian history! Happy Fossicking! Colleen and Warren.

This video is a multi-day sortie with various Garrett detectors to the remnant site of an R.A.A.F. staging strip, the first half with AT Max and a small 5 x 8″ DD coil, then we return a few days later with an AT Pro International and a 15″ NEL DD ‘Attack’ coil to evaluate the NEL’s performance in difficult (and extremely hot) conditions. Some great finds come to light with both machines on the two days. At some point we will have Colleen on the site – rest assured she returns in our next video! Happy Fossicking to you all!

Colleen joins us in a return to the Depression-era ‘shantytown’, where we unearth some great personal items plus a nice coin ‘spill’, including two silver coins, from the nearby ‘two-up’ school. We hope you enjoy this little look back in history with us in a very picturesque bushland setting. Happy Fossicking to you all! Colleen and Warren.

In our first outing to a late 1920s Shanty Town, we uncover some poignant relics of a bygone era when young families struggled in tough conditions during the Great Depression. The little village lingered into the 1950s (as the finds reflect), with some youngsters spending their entire childhood in the location. We will return with Parts II and III in the coming weeks.

In Part 2 of our (possibly 3 part) series ‘Rust and Dust’, we return to the site of an 1860s goldfields prospecting camp, and Colleen immediately comes up with a pristine Cricket Buckle, lost by a gold miner long ago. We then go on to explore further afield for more lost relics of that historic time. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

Join with us in the first of a two-part ‘raw detecting’ sortie to an 1870s goldfields camp. We present this day ‘as it happened’ with plenty of live digs and rough edges – not every trip produces sensational finds. However, in part two the site does gives up some great secrets – please stay tuned! Happy Fossicking! Colleen and Warren. www.nqexplorers.com www.garrettaustralia.com.au www.outdoortactical.com.au
