Gift From Australia :-)

Heya Guys,

Received an awesome gift from Australian forum member -  liquidhandwash  ,
his project to use laser cutter and making very very nice coin holders
Check this one out, it consists of 5 parts,
* middle part with holes for coins and sides as wells + 2 legs, assembly takes 10 seconds:

Thanks a lot mate!
As this one is only prototype and you are working on it further, i believe that your next lot will be perfect and you should go ahead and make it mass production.

This product will easily sell to collectors and metal detecting hobbyists .

Regards
Max

Another successful Night out :-)

Same Time, got picked up by Olly at 23:30 and went for an hour ,
I am now trialing Open screen on CTX, no disc, just listening for sound  , same as on Excalibur.

As time was limited i covered only a small portion of the beach (coming back tonight, but was rewarded with some coins and 44th gold ring for the year !

Weights at 4.1 gram

Lets hope there is some more.
See you at the beach!

"M" is for Master of Metaldetecting :-)

Olly pulled me for a midnight hunt,
as we had only an hour to wonder around, i suggested to go to Misison bay.
Our target was to get no less than 1.5$ each :-) - the result was way better

The toe ring is Silver, stamped 925
While the Letter "M" has two foreign stamps on ring and the M itself. it is very think ,but weights 0.5 gram, it is gold for sure without acid test.  It went right on my chain :-)
Thanks guys!

7 Ring Day , wow ... but no Gold :-(

Daylight savings... what a pain in the ass when you need to wake up early in the morning....
... Andrew braved up and txted me 5:45am NEW Time that we are going....
I couldn't believe... so early o.o.....x.x ...

The start of day day was at SH1 highway petrol station with White Chocolate Blueberry muffins and Coffee as we were heading up north to Omaha area.

The day was so warm and beautiful that we really wanted just go for a swim :-) but water is still pretty cold, so we passed on water activities.

Targets were slow, but consistent with 1st target sinker and next target Stainless steel ring . That gave us some hope for real treasure. But gold and 1-2$ coins were all VERY VERY deep so even our CTX with 11 (me for today) and Andey with 17 missed all gold . We spent well over 5 hours detecting at Omaha and Tawharanui Peninsula .

My totals are below:

 
And cleaned:
