Hi there Madsonic. Havnt done under the clothsline yet but im looking right at it. Not a lot of fossicking to be done out here but im heading up the coast soon for a biggy, cant wait.

To the end of the road.

Trip # 94.After the move out of town i headed down to the fishermans spot at the end of the road. Found the usual lead sinkers and alloy but that didnt matter cause i was just keen to get out.
2 goldies, 7 coins all up.

...was just keen to get out.

.

Being just keen to get out is a good way to find stuff Shane.
Been wondering which end of the road you mean. When I was a kid down the end of the road
was at the Keri inlet past the Edmonds house ruins. Great place to play and picnic then.

Lord of the Rings 2. The 6 rings.

Trip #98

After que-jumpin me last spot I was lucky to take Crisyboy to the other side of the bay to a hot spot. Hearing about the sovereign finds of late we headed to the closest most likely spot to be holding. Two hours in we were about to stop for coffee when i struck the first ring, a silver with a clear stone. Ready to head back down i say, "we aint leavin till we find GOLD..", one minute later im spewin as Crisboy pulls a GOLD plated ring up from the depths, he swings again to find a silver ring, ha, he swings a third and pulls a triple band GOLD ring. Im screaming at him from over yonder as GOLD fever hits me and im feelin woozy. Cut it short he found five all up and i found one, in my defence it was the first one..Great day glad we went.
A 1952 NZ penny, 18 coins all up. 4 silver rings, 1 triple band 375 GOLD ring and 1 GOLD something ring we cant figure out.

...and 1 GOLD something ring we cant figure out.


...18 coins all up.


..In order to find GOLD i/we dug every signal bar the iron, even if you knew it was a ringpull (if you believe that you will believe anything..).


...and the lead.


...all the space junk.


...we aint leavin till we find GOLD.

hell yeah!! Slaying it guys well done!!

Coming up. Lord of the Rings 3, The final episode (..basically means Crisyboy is goin home tomoro).

But first a glimpse of a find that looks like GOLD, smells like GOLD, 9 stones, very corroded which makes us think its an alloy mix and all thats left is the GOLD. Wot you think, hard to tell.

Lord of the Rings. The sequel.

FOSSICKING TRIP # 100.

Couldnt resist a third trip back to the hot spot as this was trip # 100 so i guess i had to pull a descent find. There was no stopping me, made a line down that beach and off i went, i wanted GOLD. One hour in and a solid ding ding ding high in the silver range, a sinker for sure, dig dig and whammo, there it was, a big bad-boy silver with three deep red coloured stones. You beauty, thats 9 rings between us this month i just wonder if i could manage a tenth. Buzzing along a bit more- past the picnickers and ding ding again somewhere in the foil range. Yeha. This next ring was old and deteriated but good enough to make it the tenth one found. Cant wait to get home to tell everyone.
2 rings, 7 coins all up and a tractor.

...whammo, there it was.










...and two makes ten.
