Golddiggerart - Detector finds...

Judging by some of your recent hunts I don't reckon it will take you too long to get some gold with the Nox mate, it's coming. :Y:

Yeah mate water detecting is very challenging but also gets the heart flutters up when you finally get a good tone/beep. :Y:

Got out and found a few coins but only because my daughter and I stopped at the park before I went to the beach by myself.
$8.15 from the park and if wasn't a surprise as the bark needs a top up, it's packed in hard do any dropped coins would be easy to spot.
I got to the beach and within a minute I got a $1 coin...I decided to just wander around rather than grid and plucked off a few more coins.. Within 5 minutes of being there I got a ring a ding ding and even though the only marks on it are PJM I am sure it is silver but I could be wrong...









I will be out again on the weekend weather permitting so until next time happy detecting...
Cheers Gda :Y:

It's still soaking in vinegar with the shilling.. :Y:

Today was a balmy 21 degrees so I went to one of my favourite beaches.
The first thing I spotted was a small fire pit and that produced a nice $6.50 coin spill... A second fire pit produced an earring and 2 silver toe rings...
I stayed for around 2 hours and managed to pluck a few more finds before calling it a day..
Tonight is a super low tide so I will be heading into the water to see what treasures are to be found.











Until next time, happy detecting
Cheers Gda :Y:

Last night's dig gave a few surprises.. Went to the local beach with my son Jacob, 15 years old and ears that don't want to listen.. He had the Xterra 505 and I had the Nox 600..
I was concentrating on the water and Jacob the dry sand, a very low tide still going out saw me pinging a lot of 5c and 10c coins so I gridded that area.
After around 15 minutes boom Threepence and then another, a 1c coin popped up a half penny and alot of square nails..
I've never seen so many of them, it was painful but knowing there were silvers kept me persevering with that spot, I realized it was where the shilling came from.
Jacob wasn't having any luck, his poor swinging action and impatience was his undoing and so hitting on a nice crisp 22 signal I called him over to dig it, sure enough $2 which made him happy.
I said to Jacob that with all the older finds there may be an old gold ring around and I was right.
A good night with Gold and Silver and a spot to work over the summer months as the sand shifts with each tide...

















I separated some of the finds to make the pictures a little clearer.



Old button, very heavy with coat of arms.. Needs a good clean so I will get to that..



A brass 45.cal I believe..



Until next time, happy detecting..
Cheers Gda :Y:

Great finds! Would have thought the cameo ring was older than 1965 - a very old fashioned ring type.

Square nails on a beach? Hmm... Old shipwreck debris maybe?

Cheers,

No not that I know of, they're only small and lots of old screws so probably from an old building.. :Y:

The smiley $1 is pretty cool
I wonder why they made it upside down after all that work :/
Congrats on the gold ring ... nice cameo :Y:

Yeah mate I was thinking the same thing lol
Cheers, there's many more rings out there.
:Y:

Nice rings, especially the cameo, haven't seen one of those since my grandmother passed away, and always a good day when some silvers pop out of the sand.

Nice work mate, thought you'd have to get a gold ring soon.

Yeah mate it was well overdue lol but I as m only a few digs into the new season. Haha
I lowered the threshold which seems to have worked wonders..
I did find that the deeper signals were a little scratchy but as soon as the targets were out of the hole they were solid tones. :Y:

Nice lot of finds there mate.
Makes me keen to get out.
Congratulations on the gold.

Cheers Smoky, that is what we do, inspire everyone to get out there and save the treasures. :Y:
Pack up your gear and go get some.
