Gold & Silver

We are at Whangaparoa, the detecting is pretty hard going,not only are beaches sanded up but this area gets a pretty hard time from other detectorists.But I did manage around $30 in a grass carparking area. The. 375 white gold ring came from out in the mud,and the silver ring from the hard wet sand.'

Back on the road again

Well we are back on the road after working for the winter,managed to put a few dollars in the bank,so now its time to get serious about detecting again.Haha it has taken us 10 days to travel 50 kms,we stopped at Omokoroa,Waihi beach for 3 days,then Waihi for 2 days.And now Paeroa.
  I have managed coins and a few bits and pieces at most of our stops although the beaches are pretty hard going,anyone want some sinkers I have 26kgs of them in the back of the ute,I am on the lookout for a commercial fisherman,The gold ring came from Omokoroa,and the wee pendent from Waihi beach,I had a run of threepences at an old park at Waihi the oldest is 1933,also managed a few dollars for bread and milk etc.The old bullets came from Sulpher point out in the mud,I suspect they may have been police issue,all the silver cleaned up ok,but I have my doubts about the larger bracelet,even though it is marked sterling.
