My beach finds

[Paulmarr]

And to finish off our weekend hunts - here was today's effort...

The best of it was another five silvers - two shillings and three (2 and three quarters of) six pence along with a large penny, half penny, some brown buggers and a fifty and a twenty cent piece - also what looks to be a sterling silver earring pendant - we will know more after clean up.

The spoon on the left is quite old and has some markings on the back of the handle which are interesting...

Oh yeah and the other targets...

All in all a good weekend and great to be back with Bogan doing what we love to do...

Nice, I detected a spoon last week and it instantly reminded me of you guys.

Here are the stamps on the spoon

Here is our sinker/lead collection after five months .... 6.4kg of it!

.....if only lead were gold! It certainly doesn't take long to accumulate a decent amount of sinkers, lures have also been pretty common at the high tide line this year. Should call you guys the Spoonmen, still can't complain, it's still a decent amount of silver to add to the collection.

Here is the shilling from earlier today cleaned by with electrolysis and bicarbonate...

And if you want to know how to set up your own electrolysis bath watch this SA Bogan video ...

Sweet, despite the pitting on the face, it still has some pretty good detail for being in such a corrosive environment.

Another day and another hunt ... This time for about 90 minutes on my own for a bit of lunchtime exercise... Here are the finds...

Nothing to write home about - I did get three silvers - a 1955 six pence - a 1956 three pence and a another older three pence that will need a clean up to read...

A very worn twenty cent piece and a fifty cent piece ... Pretty cold out there with a bit of a wind but when you are out there having fun you don't even notice!

 

[Goldpick]

Not bad for 90mins detecting, can't complain. That 20c is definitely past the point of no return.

Hi Guys,

Great going with your thread, I'm a fan

Why is the 1956 three pence inverted??

 

[silver]

The plot thickens.

 

[Paulmarr]

Thanks guys! The three pence is inverted because I need new glasses!

 

[Dejan027]

LOL

Cleaned up the shilling for the other night to find it in really good condition with no pits

 

[Sa_bogan]

Some of the photos that I've posted lately are not that good, but I have cleaned the lens so mine should get better.

Friday afternoon delight - SA Bogan went out for a swing on his own and here are the finds...

There is a silver three pence and a large penny amongst the other treasure and junk ... Even an iPhone 4!

 

[Dreamwalking]

Paulmarr ... which beach did you find the iphone 4 .. it looks like the one I lost.

Peter./

 

[Paulmarr]

I'm not sure Peter ... We will have to let bogan answer as he was the one who went detecting and left his finds on my table!

 

[Dreamwalking]

Paulmarr ... After I posted my comment to you.... I magnified the pic of the phone... I should have looked first, because the phone you found is not mine... its in much better condition than mine.... LOL
