My XP Deus 2016 Finds

[pprogers]

If that's a solid gold ring could the green crud be where the salt water has got to the copper (assuming it's 9ct)?

Sweet finds Rocket, hope that ring is 9k. If you have an old ceramic tile lying around you could scrape a small amount off the ring on it's edge on the back of the tile, gold will leave a golden streak and the tile will rub through any plating and show whats underneath.

 

[rocketaroo]

I will try it, but hopefully its hallmarked.

 

[Ramjet]

Nice going Rocket.

On ya Rocket, been wondering when a few rings might start showing up in the scoop. Hopefully it is 9K and not plated, though the ID should give you a rough indication.

 

[AtomRat]

Wowee awesome job on the goldie RR!

 

[rocketaroo]

TID 59 on 12khz, so its in the ballpark.

 

[rocketaroo]

Well yay its 9ct solid gold, my first beach gold. However it had cracks in it, and its now in 3 pieces My picking at it to be blamed, but its days were over as a wearable ring anyway. Its a my valentine ring, little loveheart with "my written in it" then the word valentine. Its soaking, should be clean soon, so I will glue it together tomorrow.

 

[Heatho]

Awesome mate well done.

Bugga, but at least broken gold is still gold.

Yep, I didnt even consider that it would break....but gold is gold

Congrats on your first beach gold, hopefully a lot more to come.

Got out late this arvo, hunt at 3 adjoining former house sites. I discovered it last year, but never got around to testing it. The homes around it are 50s/60s, so I knew it was going to be an iffy chance of old finds. All the pre decs I found were roo penny era, the 1950 sixpence was in a hole with two 1c pieces. All of the coins came from a small area, the backyard, guess them clothesline drops. Reckon I will do well on this site.

 

[Mikezoom]

Nice amount of coins!!!

 

[Ramjet]

Nice hunt Rocket. Hopefully there will be plenty more there.

The site looks very promising going by those initial results Rocket, hopefully some florins appear as well.
