My XP Deus 2016 Finds

[Heatho]

Geez Rocket nice hunt, that pendant is really cool.

 

[Goldpick]

You are going to wear the Deus out at this rate, nice hunt Rocket. The pendant is different, he does look a bit crazy eyed though (or stoned)!

Couple hours this arvo with RJ, Sandta, and Sinhoff, who invited us to share a huge trench dug at a local beach. We all got silvers, and very toasted coppers. Enjoyable hunt thanks guys! One of my thrips is so rotted, dont think there is any point cleaning it lol I ran the deus in my park settings mode, discrim 1, reactivity 2, sensitivity 95. Even in the soaking wet sand it was quiet, and went deep.

 

[Sandta]

Yes it was a good arvo ... Thanks sinhof
Great to catch up with you guys
Great to be back on the beach
will post my finds up tomorrow after a bit of a clean up

one of my 6p is a worn 5c. Soaking in citric at the moment.

 

[Heatho]

Nice work.

 

[roy cobb]

Nice find there ever one looking forward to getting out there for my own

 

[rocketaroo]

Citric bath, and a bi carb scrub didnt clean them. So I wet them in citric acid water, and squeezed them between foil. That worked, crappy coins, but a good adventure getting them

The enjoyment is in the hunt, not the treasure.

It is disappointing that the coins are stuffed, but like RJ said...there's the thrill of the hunt, and improving our skills. But the exercise, and spending time with you lot, is reason enough to be out there plucking toasted silver

Morning Ramjet & Rocket,
The thrill of the hunt is just one of the aspects that keeps us detecting, and the company of a group of friends with similar interests and skills is a real bonus too.
It's a real shame that so many of the targets recovered recently are in such bad shape, hence my comment about weather they are worth chasing; and I guess that brings us back to the thrill of the hunt and in saying that there is always the chance of unearthing something quite unique and special.
Cheer,s SinHof.

 

[rocketaroo]

Yep, any of those finds couldave been a gold ring.

Hi Lozzie and welcome to the forum. You would be better off starting a new topic with your question. That way more people will see it and you will get more replies.

Cheers

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ... the gold rings are what we chase and the coins are a bonus - we got over 20 oz's of beach silver in 2014 - it all adds up!

I sometimes read the park threads when you find an old war buttons, or trade tokens and wonder why some guys wet their pants over them ... but I guess everyone has a different idea about what the "good" treasure actually is. I love to see those beach coins because it tells me the potential gold rings buried along with the coins are close by! Great session guys!

I have more fun in dirt, than I usually do in sand. But its the thrill of the hunt, especially on a site where we pick alot of old coins/relics in a shorter than normal time. I like the beach, and look forward to the storm tide hunts.

This arvos site proved empty of old coins, but goldies saved the day.
