Hello TNET friends.
This Winter has alternating strong onshore winds blowing from South and North for some time now. THese keep washing up many interesting finds again and again.
As I am not working currently I had lots of time to make extensive beachwalks and I have found many nice finds, driftwood, beachglass, some trash that was interesting, a thing I think could be a glass fishing-net floater (check out my thread in the ''what is it'' category) and when I don't find washed-up stuff I find coins that the wind has blown free of the surrounding sand.
Last week (so this is technically last week's find not today's...) I found this vintage speargun very high on the beach. It's a Rocket 105, made in Greece 105cm speargun.
What I like about this find is that I had already found while beachcombing, years ago, a rubber speargun sling and a protective cap for the spear tip and being a spear-fisher myself I had found underwater on some hunt of mine some time ago, a harpoon spear that fits.
I have now the complete working thing (I tested it, still pretty straightshooting ashore, I have to wait for Summer to test it underwater :-) the only thing missing could be a fitting reel for the spear's line... Well, I will continue looking for it.
Not a really precious find but I feel like this is a trasure for me and I wanted to share this.
Happy hunting
