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' :)

Ring returned to owner after being lost for 3 years
Met up with the couple mentioned in my previous post today...it was his wedding band after all.
Turns out I found it in pretty much the exact spot in the water where he lost it 3 years ago.
A happy day for them and me being able to put a smile on their faces

Another triple gold ring day
I had one unsuccessful hunt with nothing worthwhile posting and then on Monday I went to a spot to go and try out my new wetsuit and it turned out to be a great hour in the water.
Three Gold rings...very happy :)

This last ring might have a bit of a story to it...I have been to this spot before and while there was approached by a young lady who told me that her husband had lost his wedding ring there about three years ago while diving(after only being married for a month)...She gave me a description of the ring and also emailed me a pic of what it looked like...and would you know it,less than a month later it pops up in my scoop in the water.I will contact her later in the week and post the results afterwards :)

Winter Detecting Recipe : Cold + Sea + Perseverance = Gold & Silver & :))
Hit the water once again early morning 8h15-10h45...Outside Temp 12 Degree Celsius
It is getting pretty cold out there....might have to invest in a thicker wetsuit than a 3/2
My efforts were rewarded though with some interesting finds
Three Silvers Some Junk Jewellery and one Gold

Found what appears to be a very popular fishing spot
Spent a few hours in the water yesterday
Untold amount of Sinkers and one big Silver ring
I suppose the value of the lead was just about more than the Silver lol
Silver is from MHJ
Can anyone help with this item
Looks to be gold painted lead
Measures 9cmx2cm and weighs about 22g
I would guess it has to be same era as the old lead toys maybe

Nothing like a bit of Gold to cure the Monday Blues
I had 3 trips with no significant finds since my last post.... and I was beginning to think the Gold Fairy had deserted me.
So I tried a new spot on Monday and spent about 4hrs in the water
Dug about 200 targets of which just about half were pulltabs :((
Two goldies and a Silver made it worthwhile in the end
The shell casing is a .303 from 1942
And the goodies
Silver and a Junker
I have not zapped the Silver one,so the Junk looking one is .925 and the Silver one is Junk :-)

Tried a New Area Today
Thought I would go try somewhere else today
No gold,but 5 rings for the day
3 Silver and the ugliest junk ring I have come across
The Silvers
I found a few of these bullets as well
Seems to be a fairly large caliber
Anybody have any guesses or know what caliber
The short one looks like a 9mm to me?
Here's a close up pic of the larger ones
They are not lead...
