Hi Guys, Here are a few beach finds from around Waihi beach & Whangamata & kids playgrounds.
Mostly found with my Garrett Treasureace 300 Some with my GP 3000 when I was learning to drive it. And a few with my Bounty hunter tracker IV.
The anklets are 9 carat gold. The gold rings are mostly 18 carat, the first pale blue ring is 18 carat with an aquamarine stone with diamonds around it. Some have diamonds & blue sapphire. The puzzle ring is 18 carat. Stirling silver rings at the back.
Some coins from a jar I came across in the book shelf. There are a couple of big coffee jars full somewhere but I cant lay my hands on them at the moment. All sorts of coins from pre decimal to old decimal & current. Overseas coins as well that tourists must have lost. Lead sinkers too of course & the odd kids toy match box cars
Junk rings. Silver on the left hand side & an army button up the front
With my GP 3000 I found this antque big stirling silver heart locket buried a good 20" in the sand & it even had a rock the size of a soccer ball on top of it. I carefully lifted it out of the sand when I got down to it & saw the chain. I took it home before I attempted to open it as I thought it would be full of sand. Much to my suprise out popped an 18 carat ring with a blue sapphire in the middle surrounded by diamonds.
The ring is propped up on the right hand side at the back
I have lost count of all the $1 & $2 coins I have found as these were generally spent. So I would say my coin detectors have well & truely paid for them selfs many times over.
Happy hunting
JW :)
