Spent the last couple of weeks in Timaru for work & managed a hunt with Madsonicboating cheers mate good to meet ya so scored the 6g ring & the cool little medallion 'NZ rough riders, to commemorate the departure to the Transvaal 1900' rang real high like silver but not sure what its made of. Then caught up with Foiled today at little hagley , had a good chat about his wicked sov find & how it came up real low on this gold bug so thought I'd dig a few real low numbers.......first target around 28-34 on the F4......a 6g 9ct gold ring!!!!! far out couldn't believe it haha coinnut attached the following image(s):
