Another quick early morning hunt....only Silver today

Out in the water again at the crack of dawn
Weather was pleasant and the water not too cold
Made for a nice morning even though the finds were meager

Nice Sterling ring from Michael Hill

Early Morning produced a mens 10k ring

Got out into the water this morning while it was still dark...turns out it was worthwhile


Got a few bits and pieces of junk jewellery

And then out popped a nice 10k ring

HH:)

Help with this mystery Item?

Two visits two the beach...
First visit produced this...slightly larger than a button
Unfortunately Neptune hasn't been kind to it

Found the BIG DADDY of 9k Rings

Went out yesterday again for what was supposed to be a full days hunt,but my Scoop handle snapped cutting it short by half a day

Happy with the results for the half a day though
Here is the Silver for the day.



Verdict is still out on this one....cleaned up like Silver...?


And the Gold


And then out came....what I first thought was the top of a brass pipe due to the size
No distinctive marks on it,but I will go and inquire in the area where I found it to see if anyone lost a whopper like this

Two hunts for one little Silver ring

Nothing much in two hunts to post about

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
