A bit of Gold from the Gold Coast

We are now at Surfers staying with Son and GF,( ahhh its great to be living with the kids,eat all their food and shower as long as you want haha ) I have been hammering the beaches here,but it is very hard going, they had a massive storm here a while ago but now the beaches are very sanded up,as they trucked in tons of sand to replace that they lost to the storm.
 The local MDers had a ball at the time,apparently detecting all night and getting loads of goodies that were lost many years ago.The large bracelet is marked "ITALY" and stamped 325 -1/10- 925 I guess that means it is 9/10ths 9kt gold and 1/10 silver and weighs 6.5 gms.The other  wee bracelet is unmarked but sure has the appearance of gold.The rest are just normal currency (one kiwi dollar and a one pound coin),the watch was an eyeball find and goes great. And two more cars for the stable.
  Most days there are other detectorists on the beach so they do get a hammering in the height of the season.
