  1. Another spectacular video. Love the fall colors and the views. I also love the stacked stone walls of the school house. Always amazing how tight the fit between the stone. Master craftsmen.

  3. I have watched a few metal detecterist that do rivers and stream edges, also using strainer pans. They always aim for the edge of a curve in the river or stream at often coins get brushed along by stones and gravel with the natural force of the strong water flow. Great colours of Autumn showing on your Island now, that view of the tree boughs all twisting and gnarly look fantastic. Thank you for sharing. 💕🇦🇺

  4. Fabulous autumn colours! I hope you are able to discover the history of the schoolhouse. When I was little I attended an old school in the country and the windows were always high up so the children couldn't look out of them and be distracted from their lessons. We had a stove in the middle of the classroom with a cage round it and in winter we sat round it and fell asleep after lunch.
