Watch your watches.... GOLD!!!!!
Well I found this old busted watch which was giving my F2 some odd numbers... I chucked it into the car in the ash tray (where I put my ok finds) it sat there for several weeks... well I looked over at the backing which had fallen off and sure enough I clearly read "18k .750" !!!
It's a solid GOLD WATCH!!! I am so glad I did not just throw it away!
Free Tip: CHECK watches before throwing them out!!!! lol

Another hunt with DJevel at another nice secret spot ;)... Silver!
Well this spot did not disappoint! I managed 2 NZ SILVER shillings (best I have done in a LONG time :) ) and DJevel took the cake with 3 shillings and 2 sixpence! I always seem to find more spendable and he more silver... lol (I''d prefer the silver ;) )
I don't know how he does it but he manages to get some nice permissions... I have yet to get a response from mine.... oh well.
On to the finds :)

Hunt #2 at beach: 3 3d's one British one with oak leaves. 31, 36 ,43, pre 1921(not shown no date)
Hunt #3 at another beach: 3 3d's one old British one. 25, 40, ?(needs a better clean) found some other really nice find here too... including gold and platinum!

November 10th Hunt with Djevel @ a special location
Well this hunt was a fun one as I got to hunt with Djevel @ a special place that he had permission to hunt! That means that this was the first time that it has been hunted :D. Djevel did hunt it once yielding 2 silver 6d's!
We did make some great finds! Djevel found a pure silver ring and a silver 6d!
well here are my finds for that hunt :) enjoy!
