Ring Recovery - Cheltenham Beach, Auckland NZ

Check my another successful story, more stories to come as a waas away for a week of treasure hunting

Very Slow Summer ...

Unfortunately nothing realy exciting to report from past week hunts:

the pile on the left was from one of city beaches that had sand pushed up to high tide mark, exposing a bit of old layer at the bottom- produced some old coins, bucket of sinkers and 2 silver rings.

Where pile on the right is from the Waiheke island, where we caught up with local resident Brett T for a coffee at his amazing Batch  :

Olga was also digging that day and completely smoked  both of us !
she finished the day with  3 rings (1gold, 1 silver and mood ring) + Vintage silver bracelet!

As for me i just got only 1 junk ring :-(

so here are aring from the 2 above hunts:

Another hunt for me was an evening outing at local beach that produced silver ring and some other small pieces:

Silver +3

Junk +1

Keys + 4

Choosing wrong Side of the Beach

Went to a local beach for low tide last night and meet up with Chris just 30 minutes into hunt,
as i already was doing "certain area" , he politely advised that he will do just a bit further away spot. Right at that moment i knew he gonna do better than i do :-0)

After 3 hours he got 2 gold and 1 silver, while i got only 1 stg and 1 junk + coins :

Ring Recovery On Early Morning 1 January 2015 + Bonus Find

Got an email from John that his wife lost a precious ring on Monday morning,
so we agreed that we will go morning tide 1 Jan to recover it as 12 tides passe dsince it was lost and moreover we already had couple of windy stormy days since then.

Lucky for us the ring was lost during the pick of high tide and that gives me  a bit of distance on the beach flat to search before ring is dragged/washed away domewhere in unnown direction.

Took me 1.5 hours to  find it :-) check this reaction in a shor video below:

Also, during recovery i got a bonus find:

6.12 Gram of 18 ct , Yahoo... first gold for the 2015 !
