A blog about some Metal Detecting Trips and Finds in New Zealand.
We go Water Detecting mainly but also do some old spots depending on our research.
Have to try and keep track of all the 'hunts' :)

Minnie Balls,Junk Jewellery and coins
Finds since last post....not been a good week
1c,2c etc
Spendable goldies
Pennies 1903 oldest,UK Halfpennies Aussie Penny and one silver
Junk Jewellery
A collection of Minnie Balls(One of them still has the 'plug' in) and a few shell casings
Nice lot of spendable. Several of the $1 coins look very worn or is it just the pic lighting. I note your ratio of old dec to new dec is quite low which is just the opposite for me lately. Dam 2c pieces mostly. They make such a racket in my headphones it is hard to ignore them in case. HH
Hi.No it's just the lighting....Yeah it is hard to ignore the 1c 2c pieces....like they say everywhere 'the more you dig the better your chances of finding good stuff' .In saying that I must say I'm guilty of descriminating too much a lot of the time.
Ha Ha I think we are all guilty of getting the "envies" as we read the blogs but that is what drives us and makes the hobby more enjoyable don't you think.
Absolutely agree ;) Every silver half crown i see being found gets my "envies" ticking ;) lol! I enjoy reading/seeing what everyone is finding, and it definitely drives me to research and try new areas :)

DeleteNot a good week? I'd hate to see an awesome week, might just put me and my meager weekly finds off reading your blog ;) (lol-joke) HH :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha.....That's exactly the way I feel when I see the other guys blogs in same geographic as me pulling up all the nice rings and silver coins.
