Outstanding hunt Sandta, couldn't ask for more from an outing. Think I would be rather excited seeing that big bling ring in the scoop, it does look similar to those huge class rings - drool! 
Down the beach with the Sovereign

After meeting SinHof and Cleggy this morning Ramjet and i headed to the beach for a couple of hours.
I started off in the dry sand and got spotted by Davelaw as he was strolling by, while RJ moved further along and headed towards the water.
It wasnt long before RJ was onto a productive little patch which attracted a couple of spectators who were soon followed by a few of their freinds . Within seconds his potential little hot spot was inaccessible with all these people standing smack on top of where he wanted to be. RJ even asked the lifeguard if he could move the flags to encourage them to move :lol: the lifeguard didnt seem to have much of a sense of humour
Eventually they moved on and RJ was back in action.
Dont you just love when those 5c turn into a sixpence
We both got rings which was pretty good, even though one of mine was one of those big hole in your head ones
As we stepped off the beach we were greeted by 2 lovely ladies who offered us a free sample icecream each
YES PLEASE
What a way to finish up .....
Well actually i didnt ..... Finish up
Since i dont get down to the beach very often now i thought i would make the most out of the trip , so headed off to another beach
The tide was coming back in by the time i arrived but still managed to do alright
I came accross 5 sinkers in close proximity and worked like hell to cover and search as much area around in search of any gold rings but was beaten back by rising water before i found any , but im pretty happy with the 2 silver ones i did get

Outstanding hunt/s Sandta, some of those coins look like they have been in the sand for a fair while! You did well on the silver rings - hopefully some gold there for you next time.
Wow you did well at your second stop mate! 2 rings and another pre decimal. Top stuff. Thanks for an enjoyable few hours.

Well done Sandta, you've been smashing it lately. Awesome work
One of my finds yesterday was unusually heavily encrusted so i took a photo with a $2 coin for comparison in thickness
I assumed it was a 2c ,as it was about the same size and the coppers tend to be affected that way
I was wrong .... Ive never encountered any even remotely corroded like this
I hit it with a hammer to release it from its crusty encasement
I was surprised to find $2 coin
The other unidentified coin... Still cant tell, but can see glints of copper in the sunlight
Its about the same size as 5c
Possibly a foreign coin

A very toasty $2
