Home&Away,Part 2 : The Bay Of dreams

Lets carry on the story,

As you might saw this preview allready : 


Yes and yes again, we did find our small bay of dreams ! every detectorist wishes to find one in his adventures. The bay that has never been detected, the one that holds all the treasures. For me- i've been lucky twice already. Thirst time it was Rarotonga, now its right here - my hometown - Auckland.

Bay welcomes me with all old coins and a huge load of stuff :


My loot got me 3  9ct gold, 4 silver rings and 2 junk , plus silver chain and bracelet
