Nothing much in two hunts to post about
HH :)
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' :)

Some Finds for the last 6 outings
I vanished for a while and have not detected for almost half a year....
Got my life sorted and back into it full steam again
So far the strike rate for the ever so elusive gold has not been bad....3 golds in the 6 trips
First trip out was a night detect at Waiake Bay and came away with this 9ct signet ring
Gold no.2 Came from the water at Taka with Max...a small but realtively heavy(5-6g) 22ct signet ring
And no.3 was this morning from Cheltenham....a dainty plain band(from the colour I would gues maybe 14ct
Thanks Chris for leaving that behind :))...I see on your blog you were there yesterday....I will be in touch with you sometime soon....need to get a spare battery for my Excal
And the two ugly Silvers deserves a pic I suppose

Finally...A long handle Sand/Beach/Water Scoop
I couldn't bring myself to pay the extravagant amounts asked for Scoops
from overseas,so I decided to attempt my own :)
Scoop measures 6inches(w) and about 4-5inches(h) and 8-9inches(d)
I searched and found some stainless sheet with holes in already
Cut the templates myself at home and took it down to a local factory who did the welding
professionally for next to nothing
I am quite pleased with the result :)

Have not been out too much in the last few weeks
Did a few beaches looking for possible old stuff but just came away with
some bling

Finally...Something Worthwhile Posting
Have not had much luck in the last few outings,but I went out yesterday and got a bit of everything :)
Some Small Badges
A few Silvers
And The GrandPrize for the day...
An Antique Rose Gold ring from the 1920s-1930s
Unfortunately it is not a natural Ruby as it is a 5ct stone...but hey...I can dream a little :):)
It has a makers mark but it is too worn to make it out
