Welcoming in 2019 with an 8.5 gram Silver Ring......I am not going to go over 2018 as I am glad it's gone and I can start a fresh new year with no hangups.
It was an interesting first dig of the year, similar to how 2018 started but with a little more searching/hunting of the elusive gold coin.
The first 2 hours saw me pull out a Ring which was the first target, $1.20 a pair of sunnies and some keys.
I hit one spot that always produces and hit on small change then a $6 coin spill, woop petrol money yeehaaa then hit another spot for a few more goldies.
All up I would say I swung for 3 and a half hours but with the sun rising up and me getting hot and sweaty I decided to pull the plug and head home

The end of 2018 dig 2 pairs of sunnies, $14 in change but I stopped on the beaches fish shop and bought 2 kilos of mussels woop...Just enough at $7 a kilo.

Looking forward to getting out more and having fun. All the best and Happy New Year to everyone. :Y:

Hey thanks Danny....Thanks blokes....

Well I haven't been out very much over January, home life gets in the way or it's too hot and I am relaxing with the aircon on....
We've had a good few digs Kiara and I and found some more treasures....Last night Midnight was the first Gold for 2019...... A beautiful ring which was blackened so it had been in the water for a little while, just loving the X-terra 505 which is very capable in water if tuned right.

Anyway the finds....
Dig 1

Two junkers 1 Silver

Fake Gold Doubloon

Dig 2
16.4 Gram Silver Ring....

For size reference

All cleaned up

Until next time, all the best and happy days.

[Dave79]

Bet the doubloon was a heart starter! Keep up the good work and you'll be able to open a jewellery shop by the end of the year

 

[golddiggerart]

Yeah Smoky it's been a gem over the last 2 years.... :Y:

Cheers Dave....I'll leave the shop to the professionals...

 

[The Big Smo]

A great start to 2019 from what I can see to say the least,and a golden ring,nice stuff.

I would hate to meet the owner of that huge silver ring in a dark lane,and how did you clean it up.

2019 started well for you

 

[golddiggerart]

Yes quite happy with the finds of late and to be able to get out and about again.

The ring was the standard Soak in White Vinegar with a little bit of baking soda....After about 30 minutes for this one I then washed it under cold water and rubbed it with baking soda then wiped dry to see if it was good to go....I gave it an extra 5 minute soak in white vinegar then washed under water then dried with some tissues.

 

[Danny13]

What a hunt Art , well done mate.

 

[Ship of fools]

You sure know your stuff! And just keep getting better.
