Gold at Whangaporoa

We are still on the Whangaporoa coast,the weather and the fishing has been great, also the area is very pretty and scenic,there has been some very low tides lately so I have been taking advantage of them,combined with the flat seas it has made detecting easy,90 percent of the coins came from around the trees at the ARC park ,the rest are from the beach,the small broken ring (again) I found last week at Army bay,The other gold ring came from Shakespear Bay 9kt,but unfortunatly the stones  are not diamonds,Lots and lots of old metal junk is scattered around the beaches up here I guess left over from the farming and war time era's........thanks jim

I have my doubts about this ring

I found a nice mans gold ring today marked .375,but noticed it was cracked,whem I pulled it it broke as per the photo.To me gold that is even 9kt should be more durable than that,maybe someone else has struck this?.

  All the other items were found in and around Aucklands North shore beaches,it sure was hard work as the beaches have been well and truely detected over the years,but every now and again I would strike an area that produced,another half a tank of diesel in gold coins ($41),two silver rings a few foreign coins and of coarse lead sinkers,a few older pennies in an old park,what I liked, and is one of my better finds is the old St Johns Ambulance medal, it has a number and name on the reverse a little hard to read,as it still needs cleaning
