Small beginnings, gradually raising the bar each time you find something new. You’re obviously enjoying the discovery so that’s a great start.
A good start and the finds clearly indicate that you are ‘hooked’ on the hobby!

Lol yes very true. The bullet casing seems to be a Winchester 308
Welcome, once you get bitten by the detecting bug bloody near impossible to recover from it. From humble beginnings each new find drives you on to find more and better targets !!
Always exciting digging a target to see what it is and if you’ve read the signal right as to what it actually is.
Go hard and have fun
Thank and yes …my poor daughter has been dragged all over Christchurch beaches lol. Found this , no idea what it is tho
I think you will find that it is a release ring on a latch. you put your finger through the ring and lifted, this in turn retracted the snib on the latch and the door would open. Well thats what im pretty sure it is.
Good stuff, keep on swinging !!
This is the latch I am talking about, you,ve found the ring part.
Cheers

Perfect ,that’s what it is …thanks for that . I was thinking along the shames lines.
That was good identification - I looked at that brass ring and thought that I had seen it before and then of courseX-TerraGold identifies it - I am now kicing myself as I have one of those latches - my Mudderinlaw died about fifteenyears ago and when I moved the washing machine there was a trap door in the floor with one of those latches.
Now I thought to myself - ‘Thats a might grand sort of a latch and too good to be there’ so needless to say it did a disappearing act and now reside…somewhere here, I know not where! In other words I grabbed it for use in a project - yet to be decided!
I must go look for it!
