Gold in them thar beaches

Here we are back in Auckland again,and paid a visit to one the many ARC parks,these parks attract enormous amounts of beachgoers and family picnics over the summer weekends.Fortunatly we were at this park during the week when it was relatively quite.I guess I put in a total of 6 hours over a two day period working my way slowly around the pohutukawa trees,then the second day was spent on the beach at low tide.Most of the beach was very sanded up, but a bit of time spent studying the fall of the land paid of.

 Both of the gold rings came from the wet sand area as did the other 3 (two silver,one junk),the large gold ring came in at 12:24,while the smaller was around 12:20 both are 9kt,there is no doubt about that solid sound of a good target.The total coins were around $49, on an hourly rate thats not to flash, but hey its another half a tank of diesel.
