Went out a couple days ago to try out a beach here in Melbourne and came away with a few coins and a tiny silver ring , which I was actually pleased to just find anything.

Decided to use my brain the next day and check the tide :tongue3:. I ended up making it out there a couple hours before low tide and it paid off BIG!

Within the first 20-30 mins..I see some Shiny! and its my first 18k ring EVER!

All and all it was a great hunt...at least for me! I was able to find new coins that Ive never seen and feel like it was a successful hunt




I wasn't sure about the second Ring I found because it had black all over it, but it cleaned up pretty nice and I could see a very worn " 58" on it...so I'm hoping its the faint marking of "585"

Sorry for all the other random pictures...I don't do the Facebooks or whatever the kids are doing, so this is my ONLY "Social media" outlet.


Sun is about to come up for Day 3!

Thanks for looking!

Sounds like you are having a great trip. Gold is always a nice surprise and you have worked hard enough to deserve it. Have a great time down under and keep swingin.

Haha..Thanks Randy...You are 100% correct. I never touched dry sand and have been pulling coin after coin and so many goodies!

I just got back from my last hunt and found 10 20c coins in 1 freakin hole! and not to mention a 1954 Florin!


So far on this trip in just 3 beach hunts, Ive found Gold and Silver Jewelry tons of coins and something old! I hit all the desirables in such a short trip

I will spare the "daily" posts for every hunt and do a final wrap up....Unless I get something crazy awesome :icon_thumleft:


And next time I travel to Anaheim ...Beer is on me :occasion14:
