Cheers Iggy! Gold plated silver. Had me going for a second but I knicked it with the spade and the silver shines through

Cripey thats history - isnt that Te Kootis name engraved on it? Well I dont know where you are but back in them days people didnt throw their heaters away so if you are in Maori War country I really think you hit the jackpot. I love it. Its ace, top dog, number 1.

Thanks for your time, I will post a pic of the prizes once voting is over.
Mm seems to be a problem with last poll third choice brass thing isnât showing up and it wonât let me edit it? Going more than five minute. I will see if Gavin can sort it.
A bit late Iggy but i did manage a wierd and wonderful hunt down at the property.
All i found was a bit of wire and a pop rivet which i misplaced. Found two giant iron targets but decided to leave them in the ground as were probly fencing stuff.

Just a wee reminder, voting for this competition closes tomorrow night at 9pm (see above in this thread - two polls click on the circle for your choice)
Thanks to all those who have voted already A few more would be great. Good news the last selection of the Weird poll ( brass thing) is votable even though itâs title doesnât show up.
Without giving away too much the Weird category really couldnât be any closer with equal votes across the three choices⌠so get to the polls, cheers Iggy.
