2026 - unemployed again, and i kinda feel like doing a bit of Metal Detecting!

 Been a long time since i last posted, hope all the old detecters are still doing what they enjoy!

Ive just had to sell the 1 and only gold ring i found (scroll back lots) to pay some bills.

Time to find another!! 

Currently dont have a metal detector, and in no position yet to buy one.

Wonder if any Canterbury people have spares sitting there not being used? 

1st Year Detecting Roundup

Today marks the 1st year detecting for me. Enjoyed every minute of it.

Well, haven't got around to counting/taking photos yet of all the years stuff,
but did manage to take a snap of my last detecting outings result of the year...

Found somewhere over on the West Coast ;) Detected with the GoldbugPro.
1st time out looking for a nugget, and managed to stumble upon one :) Stoked!

HH All :)

2 More silvers

Found a couple more silvers today to add to the total for the year.
One was a STG marked ring with 4 clear stones, and the other was a 1920 3d.

3 and a half pennys, lots of brown buggers, and a few spendables,
with a good pocket full of tabs and junk making up the rest of the finds this afternoon.

Had a muck round with the camera again today, altho that didn't last long - too uncomfortable having it taped on to the wrist. Id already found the 2 silvers by the time i remembered i had the camera in the glove box too - dam it! ;)

HH all :)

16 days to go...

Spent a few hours out at a near-by domain with a couple other Canterbury detectorists today.

I ended up finding 3 silvers - 1908 Sixpence, 1934 shilling and a 1945 thrupence.
Also dug one solo penny, which is an 1800's number. The other 2 guys also pulled up a few silvers.

Only 16 more days to go to till i finish my 1st year of detecting! Should be out a few more times before then, and crossing fingers this weekend coming i can add a few nuggets to the total!!!

End of June Update

Have been out on a few hunts since the last post, found a few more silver coins, a stg silver cross, loads of half pennys / pennys, even more 1's n 2's, bit of gas money and a couple other odd bits n pieces. Tried a few different spots that will have to be revisited at some point for more searching :)

Photos - tomorrow or the next day

Did get along to the latest Canterbury meeting. Was good to meet Gav and Ricki (?), and was great to get out and go for a night hunt with almost everyone that turned up to the meeting :)

Have just read a post on the Paydirt forum that takes the cake this month tho... Hunter finds a ...

Night Hunt - Big Silvers !

Went out for a Hagley night hunt and met up with Foiledagain and Hunter from the Paydirt forum.

Got there and Hunter was already on the scoreboard for silvers, and not long after  Foiled arrived, he pulled up a nice 925 ring. Was thinking to myself - Ok - sweet - MY TURN ! ! .... Nek Minnit ...

Thought myself lucky enough to find the above, and wouldn't have cared if  i didn't dig another coin for the rest of the night, but about 10 mins later, and as i was about to turn away from my current line, i found another 83 to dig, and im glad i did....

It took 10 months and 13 days to find the 1st one, glad the 2nd didn't take the same ;)

Also got a NZ sixpence and an old worn viccy 3d, along with a few of the other usual coins...

Great night out hunting again :) HH all!

Doesn't look like ill be heading out with the detector today!

Took the camera for a short drive instead, but then decided without 4x4,
i could be pushing my luck by going any further.

Came home, and im gonna have a play with electrolysis instead ;)

Edit ....

Well after reading those comments, i just had to go for a play ....

Hehe ;) HH All
