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....
