- We return for a fourth and final (?) sortie to a long abandoned terminus station in the bush. This time we are using our old faithful Garrett AT Pro with a small NEL 'Snake' searchcoil to sniff out the high-tone targets in the iron clutter. We hope you enjoy this day out and let's not rule out the possibility of a 5th sortie (!). Happy Fossicking! Warren and Colleen.

Good to see Defender is back.

You had a good hunt Warren' I enjoyed it and good luck to you and good day to you.
Thank you for commenting Jimmy - appreciate your support - Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Here in Hawai those sash catches trend solid brass. I find them on a c1915 pump house in Honouliuli. Today is the set up day of our Collector's Expo- indoor fossicking. In the Mid-Century Blaisdell Center, the saucer that ate Honolulu. I'm done, I found a whole perfect poi pounder, the "Iconic" Hawaiian relic, used by Hawaiians about 800AD-Present.. An old brochure from the Nuffield Group, M.G. TDs, Morris Minors and Riley 2 and 1/2 litres, sold new in Honolulu, Willys Aero Ace and Wing, small American cars of the early 1950s. A c1962 catalogue for Jeep Wagoneers, which remained in production to 1992. You know a thing or two about solid old 4x4s. Then 1962 and '67 Road & Track magazines. These represent American fascination with domestic and World autos in the Mid-Century. America has almost always made small cars, of greater & lesser popularity and reliability.
Thanks for commenting Tom, yes those window fittings are solid brass. That Collectors Expo would have been a great day - thanks for sharing mate - Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Great video Warren!
Thanks for watching and commenting Chris - always appreciated mate! Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Glad to see your in the Defender on this day
G'day Warren, It's a small world mate, I was born & grew up in Newcastle back in the 1960's, living mostly in the Mayfield & Wallsend areas. As kids we use to explore all
the old mines & derelict buildings around Wallsend & Minmi mostly, & back in the 60s there was always heaps to explore & discover, Now a days the kids are hog tied &
everything is to dangerous for them etc, etc, I think you know what I mean.
Anyway Mate another great video, thank you & happy fossilizing, Steve.
G'day Steve, great to see you're a fellow Novocastrian - I grew up in Glendale/Cardiff but spent a lot of time in the Wallsend and Lambton areas with my Grandfather - my Great Grandfather used to drive the Wallsend steam trams. Yep it was all adventure back in the 60s and 70s with no restrictions or fences (or safety LOL). We were very fortunate mate - All the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
That brass thing could be from a window in the house. When you opened the window, it had a brass rod that fitted into the hole in the middle of that thing you found, which was screwed into the windowsill. It propped the window open. The other end of the rod was attached to the window.
Thanks for watching and commenting Cathy - and for the info on the window latch piece. All the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Excellent video ! Hey at least you try and who know there may still be some good stuff there. Good luck and best wishes on your next hunt !
Thanks for watching Yulelah, we are going back to dig an old bottle dump on that site - all the best mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
The railways were very profitable in the early days. Rockhampton to Westwood (Presto) cost !5/- $1.50 Rockhampton to Brisbane by ship cost 10/- $1. This was in 1867. They could not wait to extend the line. The railhead was the main depot for the wagons to load their wool and pick up the supplies for the back blocks. Trips that took weeks could be done in days. They fklled out the horse and bullock teams.
Thanks for commenting - if the rural lines all over the country had made it through past WW2 turning some kind of profit maybe they would still be there - long gone are the days when the Government just provided a service without looking for an outrageous profit. So much infrastructure paid for and abandoned. All the best mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
@@NQExplorers No mate Trucks took the money away from rail. Grain was taken only by trains now it is only a small part of the service. Trains were completing against bullock and horse wagons. Then after WWII truck got bigger and better. Door to door delivery ruined railways. Where trains were used to take people around people bought cars and stopped taking trains. Today trains are only good for long haul bulk cargo.
Gday Warren. Your videos have inspired me to get more into metal detecting. My favourite mission is to detect aircraft crash sites. Just inherited a Minelab Equinox 800 from my father but have been using a Minelab Go Find 22 up until now.
Just be careful they are not designated burials which you shouldn't be digging around in, mate.
Yep. All over it.
Thanks for watching and commenting - welcome to the hobby! Be aware that crash sites may be heritage designated or War Graves, I'm sure you understand that - all the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Another great sortie Warren
Nice finds too the old Hardie clip for roofing lol
Cheers 🍻

Thanks for commenting Crouch - Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
13:55 definitely a window latch. Missing the part that turns to secure and the part that attached to the opposite window.
Hi Warren have you ever thought of doing a sortie to Abercorn QLD, I worked for the railways as a fettler and lived in the railway houses that are no longer their if you would like more info shoot us a message I think it would make a good video. keep up the great work.
Thanks for your comment Chris - you have got my interest with the Abercorn site, we have visited a few spots in Western Queensland where the old Railway Houses existed and they are always an interesting video. You can email me at nqexplorers@hotmail.com - would love to know some back stories for the site. Cheers mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Really enjoy your videos. So much of the backstory & history that we don't get here in the USA is so very interesting. Keep up the good work. Unrelated question: we get some good Australian TV shows over here and I watch several CZcamsrs from Australia & New Zealand. What is the purpose of the antenna on the front of your SUV? I see so many utes & trucks with antenna on the front.
Thanks for your great comment Scott - the antenna on the bull bars of most Aussie 4WDs and utes is a UHF two way radio antenna. Most of us run around with 80 channel UHF setups in the vehicles for highway and bush travel. We also run antenna for digital mobile phone boosters. Pretty much an essential part of touring gear over here. Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
What kind of truck do you have? that thing is bad ass!
it is land rover defender, VERY expensive !
Thanks for watching and commenting - yes it is a Land Rover Defender, they stopped production of this classic model in 2016 - the new 'Defender' looks nothing like the classic ones - All the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
@@NQExplorers Very nice vehicle, I should have picked one up before they discontinued them. Always loved them. Bit out of my price range but i think they will only increase in value as time goes on.
Warren i have a question to you.
You are Amateur Radio i sound your voice meavie years a go and my Radio, in Alfa Tango members i dont know.
Thanks for the comment - no I havent got an Amateur Radio licence, used plenty in the Air Force though, appreciate you watching - All the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
