Hidden & Abandoned Wheatbelt History - Western Australia 

Thanks for the comment.. I guess all the YBers around have their own style, or we all copy bits and pieces of style from others. I haven't sold the KLR, probably won't, even if I get another bike.

My old man has mentioned a Weatherall that was in Moora for a while, any relation?

@@joeyjojo4506 yeah possibly, but I wouldn't have a clue who it would have been. Only two Weatherall families in WA and all from Northam

@@grahamweatherall1221 Could have been Barry? played a bit of guitar apparently. Anyway, topic of conversation for Friday night piss up with old man. Cheers mate

@@joeyjojo4506 👍 nah Noone in the family with that name. Maybe a blow in from the eastern states.

There has need a tonne of rain this year.. and now frost. A lot of the crops you see in this video are now dead.. Its a pity as they were looking great.. Frost is now just a part of farming.. The crops go in so early, and farmers have worked out how to get them to grow fast, so they often end up in the frost window.

@@moiramcfarlane706 yes, this was all private property. There is normally something worth digging up.

Thanks. But how do you find who owns the property? I wouldn't want to be disrespectful and end up getting blasted! Do you back fill where you dig?

OK, haha, not sure how to think about this :) I will take a look at you video later tonight. Looks like some good ones..

@@jjsadv just wondering what you were up to .. all good..

@@R00RAL Just the boring stuff you generally have to do.. Now the weather is getting better I hope to get out an and about a bit more.

Yeh, they would have sheds full of spray.. but I guess it's just not on the "must do" list.

To find the owners I did know a few people who pointed me in the right direction. But lands records can help out. Then I just worked through the data and people I come across until I got a contact number, sometimes the shire councils will help, sometimes not. Then I just rang them and asked. I offered to hand over anything I found that was significant to the property or the owners, ie anything historical. These guys said I could keep what I found, they would just like to know what it was. They then said "No Problems" and showed me other locations they had. I find nearly everyone is OK with you having a look around. I always offer my full details, drivers licence etc. In this case I actually handed over all the coins and bits and pieces to the owners son, so he could show them at school.. If I find military stuff I usually contact the local museum and hand it in so it can stay in the region. I just get a photo.. I have done this close to this location. They sent me a nice thank you letter..

@@jjsadv thanks mate. I'll have to look and see if I can find anything. Planning a month long road trip and hoping to find things. New to this whole game

@@wombatracing I have done some cold calling and only had one “no” Like I mentioned. If you are willing to share some personal identifying info, it puts people at ease.

Yep, always looking for those sports. I got 60 coins from one old place from under the clothesline strung between the trees.

Some of the coils are 95% or 50% silver..

Good find considering today's inflation.
