Number 10 gold for the year......unbelievable

After my recent run on gold rings,I would not have expected to see any more for another month or more,would you believe it, I was detecting at Shakespear bay,picking up the odd coin or two,when I get another good solid 12-22 this time, thinking it was a teartab I quickly dug it up only to see a glint of gold.The two wee silvers were in a small washed out area along with the older 20c bits.
 We are on the road to Whitianga tomorrow only have another 8 weeks in NZ then off to Perth to work for the winter (put $ back in the bank, the gold is not quite enough).

 The other day when I found the Ladies gold ring a Father with his young daughter were watching me,I guess she was around 4 years old,when I showed them the ring she asked to hold it,thinking that woudn't be a problem I popped into her hand.What a mistake that was,the little sod wouldn't give it back again, She started to throw a real tantram screaming and crying,her dad was thrown right out of gear,I had visions of the little beggar throwing it away into the long grass.In the end I said I will do you a deal and held out my hand,and said I will swop the ring for what is in my hand,she then handed it over and I promptly dropped a sad looking old sinker into her hand as an exchange,Haha the look on her face was priceless her jaw dropped 2 feet and away she went again into tantram land.The poor dad was very apologetic.About then I decided it was cup of tea time....sure was funny
