That gold thing in the third photo is a tobacco grinder.I bet someone was grinding up a bit of the Mary Jane to smoke on the beach.
 
Welcoming in 2019 with an 8.5 gram Silver Ring......I am not going to go over 2018 as I am glad it's gone and I can start a fresh new year with no hangups.
It was an interesting first dig of the year, similar to how 2018 started but with a little more searching/hunting of the elusive gold coin.
The first 2 hours saw me pull out a Ring which was the first target, $1.20 a pair of sunnies and some keys.
I hit one spot that always produces and hit on small change then a $6 coin spill, woop petrol money yeehaaa then hit another spot for a few more goldies.
All up I would say I swung for 3 and a half hours but with the sun rising up and me getting hot and sweaty I decided to pull the plug and head home

The end of 2018 dig 2 pairs of sunnies, $14 in change but I stopped on the beaches fish shop and bought 2 kilos of mussels woop...Just enough at $7 a kilo.

Hey thanks Danny....Thanks blokes....

Well I haven't been out very much over January, home life gets in the way or it's too hot and I am relaxing with the aircon on....
We've had a good few digs Kiara and I and found some more treasures....Last night Midnight was the first Gold for 2019...... A beautiful ring which was blackened so it had been in the water for a little while, just loving the X-terra 505 which is very capable in water if tuned right.

Anyway the finds....

Until next time, all the best and happy days.
Cheers GDA :D :Y:
 
Yes quite happy with the finds of late and to be able to get out and about again.

The ring was the standard Soak in White Vinegar with a little bit of baking soda....After about 30 minutes for this one I then washed it under cold water and rubbed it with baking soda then wiped dry to see if it was good to go....I gave it an extra 5 minute soak in white vinegar then washed under water then dried with some tissues. :D
 
A great start for having not gotten out too much gda...... now mate..... how do we know it's a fake gold doubloon ? :eek:
:Y: :cool: :Y:
