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..
