Another great haul.

 

[Sandta]

I had the day off work today.... going to see Nickleback in Sydney tonight
Decided to try my luck at a totally new beach this morning
Was on the sand by 5am and pouring rain
(I wasnt the only lunatic a couple of surfers turned up as the day broke )
First up ... The oddities

Next ... The canslaw etc

The goodies ...

$21.85 , 2 silver rings and a 1942 threepence

Looks a nice stone

I like the ring with the pink stone, any value innit?

 

[Sandta]

I like the ring with the pink stone, any value innit?

I very much doubt it ... Only as scrap

Hope it was a good concert.

 

[Sandta]

Back to the beach today for another soaking wet session
Variety of unusual finds

Bunch of ring pulls etc

1 florin , 2 shillings , 2 sixpences( one is 1942), 3 threepences and a silver ring

 

[Ramjet]

Sure is a mixed bag Sandta. Interesting finds and some coins is a good day out.

 

[rocketaroo]

Do the silvers clean-up?

 

[Sandta]

Their pretty well worn , not much point i dont think
Electrolysis maybe ....but i still havent ever tried it out :8

 

[rocketaroo]

Be interesting to try, no harm to be done

 

[silver]

Scoring well there Sandta, wee bit of rock damage for some of those silvers,... I like the sand encrusted silvers for clean-up more so as they tend to be protected from the elements.

 

[Goldpick]

Some of those silvers look extremely thin, the elements have not been kind to them - candidates for the smelter!

 

[Sandta]

I was the only one on the beach this evening.... Not any wonder... Its bloody FREEZING out there
Im now sitting in front of the heater thawing my feet out.
$8.85 spendables , 14 x2c , 21 x1c , 2 pennys ( 1 brittania , 1 commonwealth) comm half penny , 18 x silvers , silver brooch and a ring(copper i think)

'53 rams head , 6 x sixpence , 11 x threepence

Silver brooch

 

[Weaman]

Nice haul you got there 8)

 

[Goldpick]

Nice score on all those silvers, looks like conditions are perfect at the moment on your beaches!

 

[Pushingtin]

It's great when you have the beach to yourself and then come home to de-thaw - and with a haul like that, it makes it all worthwhile

It's when you come home empty handed that makes you wonder whether you crazy to be doing this hobby

 

[rocketaroo]

Parachute badge, military I wonder? Those storms really stirred things up!

Nice hunt, definitely worth the cold feet
