Jessup has collected a beetle, and a flint and black stone he believes were used by Aboriginal people.
He notes that the black stone was discovered 40 miles east of Kalgoorlie about 25 years previously, thereby dating its discovery to approximately 1900.
The flint was discovered about 4 feet below the surface at Wongan Hills, a town in the Shire of Wongan-Ballidu, in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.
Jessup also notes he had recently discovered an excellent example of a Gould's monitor (Sand goanna) which is now in the Zoo (unspecified).
He further notes he has seen an Aboriginal kangaroo trap.
