Another Domain

Had a look round another new place today,
for about an hour or so, and came away with these..

Glad it was just 2c after the awful sound it made ;)

Quick Hunt

Just an hour or so at the sports ground again today,
after some fathers day shopping at the warehouse.


Thought, seeing the sun was out today, i wouldn't bother wearing a jersey.
Stupid mistake - lol. Nose running, almost shivering within half an hour from the cold wind.

I tried a different area today during the short time i was there,
and again pulled another 1800's coin, so im definitely going to spend a day here,
when im a little more prepared for the weather ;)

Sports Ground Hunt #1

Here is the keepers for the day, and at some point ill add a trash pic from today,

as it was a little more interesting that the normal bottle caps and pull tabs...

Ended up finding that small silver i was after, and although not a NZ one, ill take it all the same.

The two shillings were about 5 cm apart, and the two silver British coins had 50 meters between them.

 

 

I can barely make out the date of 1856 (maybe 58) on the 3pence, its quite worn down,

but this is my oldest coin to date found, and beats my previous oldest, by 15 minutes,

which was the the 1874 sixpence ;)

10 Playgrounds - Coin shooting

Needed $4.30 for $100 for August, ended coming home with a little more :)
Fun thing with doing these barked playground areas, is learning what the clad sounds like,
and im starting to call the targets correctly as they appear/sound off :)
Amazing what objects can be found near kids play equipment..

Kaiapoi / Pines Beach / Kairaki

Was out showing Dad how the machine finds stuff today for a few hours,
and ended up with the following...

Almost a $20 morning

Still haven't got decent camera, but here is what i found today,
less the 50 or so bottle caps and other junk i already binned.

Just Getting Started

Just a short post saying hello to all those im about to click follow on their blogs :)
I have recently purchased a Garrett AT Pro and pin pointer, which arrived on the 1st of August.

Have hunted at a few beaches, playgrounds so far, and am fully enjoying the new hobby.
Once i get a decent camera, i will add photos of what i have found so far.
