Holy moley it has been a while... Got out for my first detect in several months.. Took the kiddies to the beach and got $5 and change but thd find of the day goes to my 6 year old daughter Aaliyah... Bucket Lister for me and a grand treasure for her.

I'll be back into the swing of things soon with a new detector.

Cheers GDA and Aaliyah :Y:

Looking for that "silver cigarette holder", I came across this item -
Makes me wonder if it is from the same maker or if it was a common pattern ?

Rare antique Victorian amber Meerschaum silver cigar/cheroot holder+case Chester

Hey GH I believe that type/design thorn type pipes can be attributed to one person Ebenezer Church 1877...

The pipe bowl above is dated betwee 1890 - 1910
Cheers Gda

 

[Greenhornet_au]

Thanks mate.

That is so interesting, and I didnt even have to swing a detector to find mine... just a mouse.

All from one pipe design.
I guess the pattern gave a user a much more tangible grip with its texture.

 

[golddiggerart]

I dunno about that GH because when I gripped it the spikes were terrible and actually painful when gripped hard.

 

[Greenhornet_au]

LOL

Maybe they are the old days "tactical" version of a ball and mace, use it to beat someone over the head ?

 

[golddiggerart]

The wife said yes... Woohoo

And so I did. Lol

Bring on summer..

 

[Deepseeker]

Well done mate. She's a keeper that woman :Y:

 

[golddiggerart]

Yes she's a wonderful woman.

 

[Heatho]

Nice purchase mate, will serve you well. Yep missus is a keeper. :Y:

 

[Dave79]

Nice buy. Now you gotta learn to go real fast!

 

[golddiggerart]

That's not a problem for me Dave :Y:

Well I took the kiddies to the beach today with the wife and had a play around with the new toy.
Very easy machine the Nox and it performed well.. I did find the multi frequency to sound chattery but otherwise it was great.
The targets were over 14 to 16 inches deep as I had it on Max sensitivity... I managed to get in the water for 15 minutes and dang it was cold but the nox performed well again finding a super deep target. I was very hopeful of a ring but it was some kind of shoe buckle.

Roll on Summer..

Cheers Gda :Y:

 

[golddiggerart]

Well I got out for a dig late last night to hit the low tide and to give the nox a good testing. For the first 2 hours nothing but trash but that's to be expected with the amount of sand banks. I did manage to get some coinage and each one was a yesss yahoo moment. The depths of the coins were crazy, I won't even guess the average depth.
Hanging out for the summer months...

One other thing was my badazz scoop bending.. Never would I have thought it would bend like it did, too much pressure from rock hard sand. Lol
Until next time happy digging.
Cheers GDA :Y:
