25th April - an unusual find !

April 25th
Visited the school field today - found $4.00 spendable, 19 old decimal coins, moved onto French Bay, lots of false signals, two lead weights , a 2009 Fijian 20cent piece and an old NZ 20 cent coin. Left after about 30 minutes as it was quite hard going.

Went to a small park nearby and found two old brass objects, in separate target holes about 2 foot apart and 7 inches deep.
When they cleaned up they fitted together to form - a Pot pipe! I did not have a clue what it was but was informed that it could be one of those, and Google Images confirmed it. Was very well made tho'!

  1. I don't think so, although you never know these days. It appears to be quite old and I wondered if it came off a piece of machinery, maybe used for lubricating something. I am going back to the place where i found it and try to find the missing bit. The tube screws in either hole but there must be a third bit somewhere.
    Thanks and catch up sometime.

  2. Chris,
    Have just googled pot pipes and you may well be right. Think I will call it that anyway.
    Think it would burn the lips and nose of the user!!!!
    Cheers
