Findings over 2 years, there were many gold and silver and everything, I'm not always photographing or filming. Some trips I tried to take video and post on YouTube. That created the my channelI think it will be interesting, especially for those who digs in Wellington ))))

That's great that people can still find gold in Wellington central.
A better focus on the Cameo would be good. That ring washed up well, is the gem an emerald?
Can you post a picture of the bee please?
