2013 Hunt# 11 , Waiheke meet up, another 73 year Xmass gift


Good day all,
Andrew and i went to Waiheke to meet up with Brett Thom at the same beach i detected on 12/12/2012

Despite a sunburn line on my back between shorts and t-shirt - the day was absolutely awesome!
Everyone got some cool finds that i would like to share here :



Andrews' best finds are the following 2 rings :

Both silver, but the one with a stone he is going to test . We all were like :"WOW" the stone looks real, but it is unclear what exactly it is.... More to come.

Here are all my finds after cleaning :


My best coins are 3 NZ silvers (i broke the 3d while cleaning) :


there are 2 more florins that are not silver as they past 1946, and same goes to English Shilling that is 1949 :-(

Another Antique watch (waterproof) ,but busted anyway :

And here are the best 3 (besides silver coins) :





The bracelet is 925 with the words of wisdom on the outside stating following :

Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart... Confucius

The ring and a silver triple ring (1/3 of the set) with Cubic zirconia :

And the Gold find of the Day is another 3 Gram 9 ct locket that has a following engraving :

" June from Colin xmass 1940 "
 The locket is same size and very similar to one i found on last trip, but absolutely unrelated : 

 Another items to mentions are :
* rolled gold chain (all gold has gone from it except the clasp)
* nice spoons
* the hair clip that has a waiheke island logo on it
* pocket knife

No gold ring for me or anyone team member , but , again, we had an awesome day!

    Specially like that silver stone ring of Andrews.

  2. Great Waiheke Raid! I would call Andrew's stone for an amethyst?

    Pity its a ring shoot out and not a gold jewellery one. Love the locket!
