bush rings
there's me complaining about no relics like an idiot.

1. 'shiva sitting' hindu sort of motif, inside stamp shown, no hallmark.
2. 18ct stamped, although the 't' looks upside-down, no hallmark.

these came out of bushy ground next to a stream.
would have been a good swimming spot back in the day,
coins shown are from the same spot, no modern coin found.
thinking...may-be...may-be-not.
back there soon to sort this out.

good luck every-one.

Very cool finds Mickey. Had a go with a XP Deaus last week, what a brilliant machine didnt want to hand it back. Was in a heavy trashy area and it picked up coins in amongst no worries.

- remnants of a gilt brooch.
- 1d 1893, well worn. no patina, due to salty rain perhaps.

bush & beach hunt on the manukau.

- fob watch winder.
- 1930's silver plated spoon. [brazilian silver D&A] thought it was sterling for a second.
- two beaten silvers from the beach and a decent 6d from the bush.

good luck every-one.

That fob watch winder is just the coolest Mickey. I'd be super stoked to find one like that. Do you think it would have been originally gold gilt?.....man, it would have been stunning when new.
