Lets carry on the story,

As you might saw this preview already :



Yes and yes again, we did find our small bay of dreams ! every detectorist wishes to find one in his adventures. The bay that has never been detected, the one that holds all the treasures. For me- i've been lucky twice already. Thirst time it was Rarotonga, now its right here - my hometown - Auckland.

Tuesday 3d of February

Bay welcomes me with all old coins and a huge load of stuff :
