Cruising the tail of the fish for work. A detour around a closed road pushed me out to the coast, find myself at the southern end of a popular beach i noticed storm erosion.
A hour or so later my workmates were bored with trying to fish and were low on beverages.
As the responsible driver it was time to go. Results $4.20 mankey spendies and other decimal coins.
Not shown a copper moterbike radiator and a lot of woody cans

A bush walk to a swimming hole one of my workmates remembered from his childhood. Just beer bottle caps and hot rocks.
Lovely spot for a swim - even risked submerging the CTX.

Do you know what is in the hot rocks my ctx says they are copper or bronze?
Iron or manganese, those are 26 million year old basalt flows. Have got a few streams locally that have shown traces of gold in the sediments - that isn’t one of them.
Cool thanks. I didnt take any away. I was wondering as they had such differant numbers to the Auckland hot rocks.
Quicky after work.
Silver 6p some spendies and a 1860s halfpenny. Cant quite get last digit of the date.
Pretty sure this is my new oldest coin.

Art Deco necklace?
Ship penny is cool.
Good work on the ship.
(Bit of trivia: it’s the Golden Hind, and was originally intended to go on the half crown, but ended up on the ha’penny)
Did my usual Friday night round the beach and playground.
Got a few spendies and the only ring was a 316 Stainless ring size 9. At least it was hallmarked saved wasting acid on a test.
