Noted the comment about seagulls motors and wife being hard to start and I long since learnt that it is never wise to have just one of anything but to always have a standbyâŚin fact the more standbys the betterâŚwithin reason.
Think about it from this other perspectiveâŚif you like travelling about a lot then it costs heaps to take your âseagull motorâ with you so itâs far better to have one waiting at your destinationâŚin fact I have always found that the ones I have at my âotherâ destinations are always far easier to start!
The different models arenât compatible thoughâŚ
Sorry Chris - Back on topic⌠Another silver The next gold canât be far away.

All the yanks in a spill?
Pretty much under a pohutakawa branch the beach accessed from a private resort the sand had washed out to a 150 mm to hard alas no bling âŚHey whenâs the next big low tide? wouldnât mind another buttplate
Under branches always good to catch the change that falls out of pockets as clothes get hung up for the swimâŚ
This months big tide is on the last weekend (25th I think?).
Low tide hunt this morning found my first token and a Aussie penny have decided to leave old decimal coins in the hole from now for future hunters
I think you should go back to the 250 mate. This new machine is just not working for youâŚ
Excellent result on the token.
Me likes! Love the token. 21 Years ago - hmmm that was 1996 the Auckland token was valued at $8 in fair condition up to $20 in VF condition and yours looks pretty good to me.
Wow they are some neat finds, way to go. Is that Vicky coin actually 1819.
Checkin out that lowest tide time, iâve got this saturday so the table says. 0.0 low tide 1pm, maybe thats just Kerikeri. Doesnât make sense but iâll give it a go anyhows.
.
Amazing find. Welldone.
Na the Auckland token is 1871 it has queen vic date of birth on the back good luck for the weekend Hope to have a crack myself
@ShadyShane 0.0 tide means itâs at the lowest (ie at the datum) - This is THE big tide for this year
Eat,Sleep and Beep this weekend.
get ready for it boys batteries at the ready,detectors cleaned and pressed.
if thats a 1919 ozzie penny check for dots around the scrolls[ sounds painfull] double dot is a key date coin.
Not the lowest, if you go out just before the Tsunami, youâll see the fish flopping around. YOU WONâT HAVE LONG THOUGH!
Bit of hit and miss over the weekend oldest coin a 1907 penny from a beach that normally produces old decs and new stuff speaking of such a wise one pointed out to me if I leave them in the hole I will only dig them again made sence so in the bucket they go .The waterproof watch not so âŚthe brass divider thing to thin for a ruler???
Pretty sure the brass divider thing is the hinge off a chippies folding ruler though. May have been two halves, sandwiching the wood, one of which has separated and drifted away.
Wise one?.. Wise one? You mustâve hunted with someone else yesterday after I headed offâŚ
I admit I used to leave those copper keel strips in the hole with a curse - Until Iâd dug the same one for the third time. Bag 'em all now.
