Spent a couple of hours out the other day.
Copper, sinker, copper pipe as sinker, and perhaps my first knife (fishing not a weapon, I hope).
Wasn’t even going to make a post. But, I was cleaning some rocks up (I collect interesting samples) and in the bottom of my bucket I found 2 gold flakes!!
I’d just washed my bucket out and there was a small amount of sand left and the only reason I noticed was due to the sun being out and at the right angle to shine in there. They were at the top out of the wash.
Under a microscope they are hexagonal.
Also had a bit of silver, but that wouldn’t be silver, so you know what it is! However I managed to lose that - very statically charged.
Soon as I can I’ll be going back for some more mud to process. Nothing to get rich off, but gold fever is fun.
Was going to have a detect today but rain came, tide was coming in, and it was getting late - but I got some mud to test
Hope I have an update soon. Might detect tomorrow.
The copper ‘something’ isnt the copper washer from the old time copper rivets is it - you put the rivet - some up to well over an inch, through what ever you were rivetting then placed the copper washer over the slight taper on the end then peen it in place.
Well it’s not me… I had the pleasure of heading south first stop Omaha beach huge cut in front of the surf club and then to the ww2 camp. This is a quote from my missus " there is no $#@& way your taking the detector"
Well, if it wasn’t you, me or Chris…There’s another one in the area? This hobby is becoming too normalised, Personally I blame “The Detectorists” and all its feel-good propaganda
I lifted a wee kiddybling alloy octopus charm down that way a while ago. 'Smine now!
I get the feeling you spend your days cruising the patch - You’ve managed to ping me every time I’ve jumped the fence
Farm detect got me that steel thing at top - wood hole punch?
Rest were from (non detecting walk) on side of road:
4 gloves - I’ll NEVER run out of detecting gloves now!!
Galaxy J3 Pro, + case & credit card. charged a bit, but has been in rain & a drain Not easy to open. I’ll try charging again after drying the internal organs.
Sweet little stainless bottle opener & strange drill bit.
No coins in the kids purse
Looks like a tradies van must’ve gone off the road by that collection (except the lunch money)
Those Ansell gloves are pretty good for detecting - second only to Black Bulls in my opinion.
At least you found some diamonds
