Finds from the beach for the last three outings

This week I have been starting work at 4pm,so I leave home around 2 hours earlier and have a bit of a detect at different parts of our local beach,as we have such a massive coastline I doubt that I  could cover it all in a lifetime.

  Nothing really special was found other than the watch (still goes ok) about $60 for the 3 trips,it all adds up and will go towards my next detector,around 20% of the small change is badly corroded,but to those of you that aren't aware the reserve bank will accept and pay out on any money including old out of circulation coins,so it is worth saving all those old 10c,20,and 50c coins they soon add up....cheers jim

A quick trip to the beach

I must be loopy,freezing cold and blowing a gale but i couldnt resist it,I found out why I find so many car keys,apparently when the guys go surfing the leave there keys in the sand with there towel on top.By the time they get out of the water there towel has blown away from where the keys were carefully placed leaving no identifying land marks.I now have a box full of unidentified car and house keys,A well I did dig up one set of keys and they had a gold ring attached.

A few more finds at the beach

Went back to the forever changing beach this arvo after work,the pickings are getting a bit slimmer,but still managed a $ or two and a couple of rings.I havn't cleaned the coins up yet they look pretty average,rubbish weather on its way for the weekend looks like the MD might get a rest for a bit.....

A a few more finds at the beach and a bit of bling

I went a bit further along down to Papamoa (about 5km away).The beach frontage now drops off around 500mm and has exposed lots of old lost coins and sinkers etc,probably spent all up about 6 hours in 3 stages there was a distinctive area of beach that was really productive.

 I had a ball and could have stayed all day but a combination of having worked night shift and just getting over the flu forced me home on all three occasions,these items were all found on 21st, 22nd,and 23rd.A total of 134 coins 5 rings the gold one is 9kt,2 silver a few foreign coins including an usa quarter.First pic is of uncleaned coins,note salt effect on coins lots of them are stuffed....

A few more finds at the beach

Wow when I found this I thought here we go this is the big one,but alas it is only a $2 shop key ring,still did alright though a few more $ for the coffers.

A few more finds at the beach

Up early this morning and down to Papamoa beach,only had about an hour to detect,but did rather well,finding quite a bit at the moment as the sea has been pretty big and washed a lot of sand away exposing last summers lost goodies,managed to beat the rain.No real exciting jewellery or rings etc but enough to keep my interest up.

Well here we go my first post.

A quick brief on me,living at Mt Maunganui, age 60yrs.I have been detecting now for around 1 1/2 yrs.This hobby has become a passion that has now surpassed my love of fishing,so much so that I have sold my boat (that was a hard decision).The picture is of the last two days finds here at Mt Maunganui main beach,the two rings I suspect may be platinum.
