lead,lead,and more lead
I have not posted for a while (it must be a winter thing).At the moment we are living within walking distance to the beach,I have been picking up bits and pieces by keeping an eye on the changing conditions at the beach,it can change overnight with hollows and scalloping for a day or two and then it sands up again.All the items in the photos are from about 6 outings,about $40 in 1 and 2 coins there was a lot more but they get spent on milk and bread etc.50% of the rings are silver but very tarnished.
The one good ring is Titanium with a gold band around it,the old kids gun was cool.I can't believe the amount of sinkers they come up load and clear on the detector........haha dont go detecting with steel cap boots on it took me a while to figure out why the etrac was beeping with every step I took..............duhhhhh

Great haul Jim.
ReplyDeleteYou must be enjoying the walking distance from the hunting ground.
The sinkers are a good sign - where there's lead there's gold. I used to check out the Waiheke beaches everyday as well. Sometimes the changes happened on even dead calm days, I think the size of the tides have as much if not more to do with it as the swell since king tides on calm days always scoured the beaches yet rough days with small tides built up the beach.
ReplyDeleteHave to laugh about the steel caps as I've done that myself!
