Found this item earlier this year.. Gold.. Historic.. Was about 10 inches down in an area I often hunt.. Used to be a popular picnic/swimming spot a hundred years ago before the houses were built in the area.. and before the city polluted the swimming location..

Youtube Videos
Just spent an hour metal detecting in the forest with my two oldest children.. I took the video camera with me in hopes to create a YouTube video.. Will try and post it tonight..
On a bright side, I took a closer look at the bracelet that I had found a while back, and it says "9 CT" on it.. I thought that it was just some junk brass bracelet, but it is 9 carrot gold.. its a bit dirty and will need a good washing.. what is good for washing gold?

Inventory
It has been a while since my last update..
My wife and I now have a new baby girl.. She is only 3 weeks old, and we are all very tired..
I am, however, trying to find time to get out and shoot some videos of my metal detecting.. I want to post them on YouTube.
I am also making an inventory of all my coins.. so far the oldest coin that I have found in New Zealand is a Victoria Silver Threepence "Jubilee Head" dating 188?. The last number is too faded to read..
It is always good to look over each find carefully.. While doing tonight's inventory I noticed an inscription on a bronze bracelet that I found near the silver threepence coin.. I thought the bracelet was nothing special, but the inscription will require further research..
Anyhow, I plan on getting some YouTube videos up and running within the next week or two..

30 Minutes in the Back Yard
It has been a long time since I have gone metal detecting, therefore, I have been going a bit stir crazy..
I used to go metal detecting in the evenings after the kids were in bed, but now that we are in winter, it is too dark.. I can't wait for Summer to come back, then I can go metal detecting till 10pm and still have light..
Anyhow, I decided to get the metal detecting urge off my shoulders so I went in the back yard for a quick run.. I was amazed to find so many neat things.. lot of coins.. I kept hitting targets, but with bad weather on its way, have not dug them up yet.. Will hit the yard again soon.. I did some research on the name printed on the pendant...

Sorry Cindy
I found a 14k gold bracelet weighing 25.5 grams and sold it to a refinery last week for 307 dollars. I have always kept the stuff I find, and have always told my self that I would never sell anything.. but with the price of gold being so high.. i could not hold back..
The bracelet had "Cindy" written on it and inscribed inside was "Love Oma and Opa June 199?". I put the question mark in the date because my memory has escaped me.. I should have taken a picture.. I think it was 1994.
I have been watching a lot of really neat metal detecting and bottle hunting videos on youtube.
"thirdphaseofmoon" has a really good assortment of videos in which they have made.. here is one example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHltnGcxgYQ
They are the same guys who made the night marcher movies..
Once the weather clears up here, I will be creating some metal detecting videos of my own.. The problem is, however, that winter just started for us and I am not sure when it will be nice enough for a good metal detecting day.. maybe next week??
