Hey guys!
Long time no see. You probably remember me as the blond Swedish lad who travelled all over the South Island with his Gold Monster. A few of you’re kind enough to let me play around on your claims and for that I’ll forever be grateful.
I just wanted to tell you all that I’m finally coming back over. It’s been 5 (!) long years and a visit is long overdue. Not a day’s passed without dreaming about Kiwi gold and I’ve been working really hard to make this dream of mine come true.
This time I won’t be traveling alone, I’m bringing my partner, Herman. We’re coming over in November. Also teaming up with @The_Sluicer, which is going to be epic! It’d be so cool to catch up with as many as you as possible and of course to make some new friends along the way. We’re hungry for some real Kiwi adventures, the crazier the better!
I thought I’d share with you some of my gold finds. There’s definitely gold in the creeks here in Sweden too, but nothing like what you guys find. Here your best bet to find gold would be to look for lost jewelry at the beaches, which sort of has become one of my specialties. Enjoy!
All my gold finds of 2023 (so far). Most of it found with the almighty Manticore. Have owned this detector since Easter and it’s bloody amazing…
Gold porn…
Second heaviest gold ring, heaviest being just shy of 20g
Successful diamond ring recovery mission…
Nothing like your gold, but gold nonetheless. First time panning and actually finding some in Sweden
Teaching Herman how to pan, he’s a natural lol…
Lots of history to be found
Viking age
Viking silver coin
Looking forward to seeing you all and to be back on this forum. Feel free to flick me a message if you’d be keen to have us over.
Cheers, Elias
