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

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' :)

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

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

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
