Woke up this morning to 7 degrees and fresh snow all around the hills,what a wake up call for us woossie north islanders from the sunny bay of plenty,pictured are some more finds from the beach front here in Queenstown.Also a picture of all the finds from four trips $123 in gold coins plus all the change Tony found another silver ring we felt a bit like a goldfish with all the wealthy tourists staring at us and taking our photos. Yesterday Tony (son) and I walked up the twelve mile creek in the rain this is the sight of many old gold workings and lots of it is still very clear to see,massive amounts of tailings and rock walls that have been piled up to support sluicing channels,we took the detectors up and dug up all the corrogated iron ever known to man,along with an old axe and some other scrap iron.Ran the detectors around the the base of the old hut stone chimneys hoping to find a hidden cache of gold (haha)No luck but plenty of spiders.....ps I have now posted the correct photos on my previous page sorry about the muck up.
Nice haul there Jim.
