Coin shooting school, Auckland

1hr hunt in a auckland school.

last night shot into a school in the city for an hour's hunt. Rather than going for All the good high tones I decided to dig only the mids and low tones as a bit of a experiment. I dug only one trash target the whole time and that was a pulltab. Here are my finds.

gold struck west coast

Gold  struck west coast !!

Today's  finds started off with Brett at Mairangi Bay on the north shore at 4am  . unfortunately the beach was sanded in :( how ever Brett and I did manage to dig some coins, between us we dug 4 thrupences a hand full of modern coins and  one silver pendant with cz diamonds ( that one was all  me) :) 7am came and brett had to head  off to work with his head bowed low from disappointment from not hitting gold :(.

The afternoon came and I got ichy feet once again, so I decided to ring Steve who was very keen after digging gold a couple days prior.
We decided to hit the park at muriwai beach, after half an hour of bad targets I started to come across coins, continued to dig a hand full of coins then I came across a very broken mid range signal which i would not normally dig, since the ground was clean and targets far and few between I procceded to dig it and you would not belive it, out popped a 9ct gold bracelet:) :) ye ha!!
 Happy detecting!!

frustration leads to gold!!

Frustration leads to large 9ct gold wedding band !!

Ever day this year has been a internal battle as to weather I should go to work or go metal detecting, now this is mostly due to Max , Brett and Steve.Thanks guys for making my life that little harder :p.
Today was no different :(. After having all 3 guys texting me several times each with ring finds, the internal fight once again raged ! And well work lost..
I had a bit of a think and decided to hit a north shore beach,I spent 3 hrs griding an area of the wet sand, dug a few targets and then bang as if slapped in the side of the face the head phones sreamed gold, out poped a lovely 9ct wedding band :):).
Also i found a nice little silver sixpence.   Happy huntting!!
