Hi all!

Been ages since my last post due to house commitments etc but finally managed to squeeze in several hunts at a local beach here in Auckland. The water has been very cold lately -but today is the 1st day of spring, so things should start heating up!

Two of the gold in these photos are from a previous posted hunt on this forum, the others are all new (well old!) including a large male signet ring yesterday (initialled JB) found 3 or 4 scoops down, out as far I I could stand from the beach at a very low tide! One of those random finds!

Most of the other rings are silver and junk....


The golds from left to right:

9ct -small female ring, water hunting
9ct (or maybe 14?) larger female ring with the remains of a pearl, been in the water for a long time!
?! (Looks like 14k) also from the same eroded beach in the water!
18ct - old female ring with stones all eroded by sand movement. Need to check the dates... An old English ring
9ct - small men's band
9ct - found yesterday, a large men's old signet ring
9ct - posted previously but not identified - large men's plain band, hall marked from the UK in the 1950s
9ct -small old female signet ring



Half of the above rings have been found with the Garrett Sea Hunter - my new favourite machine! So light and easy to swing in the water, and on a "clean beach" where you dig everything that machine rocks! I still love he ATX but feel that surgery of the machine into a more "Sea Hunter setup" is soon required!!!

I may have to belt mount the ATX and make an extension cable? Then replace the shaft with a standard one?
 
Congratulations! Nice finds
 
Fall, my favorite time of year. Few mosquitoes left, cool days for land hunts, vegitation thining out/dying in the woods. Great colors on the trees too. And then....winter begins. :(

Nice finds you got there. Interesting that you like the Sea Hunter so much. I had one , did well with it, but when I got an Infinium, the Sea Hunter went up for sale, as I found the Infinium deeper and used the low-high / high-low audio a lot. My ATX is my go-to machine in water in most lakes, unless the junk/good target is so bad in which case I switch to the AT Pro. Of course at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter which machine we use, as long as we are having fun and/or getting targets to take home.

It feel weird to say this, but have a great summer! :detecting:
 
Love the photo!

Just a fan of the design of the sea hunter.... There is one particular beach we have where there are so few targets, the ID of high/low etc does not really matter and the portability of the machine wins (for me anyway).

Actually I find the depth of he machine pretty darn good in the water.

However, given a choice of one machine only, would still choose the ATX!
