The Never Ending Gold Mine that is Singapore

[PKennett]

I've been away for a while, but got back in Singapore last week. I went out t the beach on Thursday night, Friday morning, and Friday night during low tides. Nothing has changed about this place! Here are my finds from these three short trips to the beach, totaling about 8 hours of searching. I used the White's V3i with the standard 10" DD coil, programmed for the wet salt beach. 8)


A shot of the gold and silver jewelry. The gold is mostly 20 & 22kt, while the two off colored pieces at the top are 18 and 14 kt. The silver is all sterling.

Close up of a unique silver find. I assume that is a black crystal inside.


Green gem. I'll have to have someone examine this one and the red one to ID them for me.


Red stone.


Little diamond in a unique shaped band. The half circle appears to be designed that way, unless this was part of a two ring set. The other side shows no damage and is smooth.


Little gold leaf with what may be Buddha. The back has the 22kt stamp.


I now have an "S" to go with my "J" and "M". I wonder if I'll be able to spell a word before I leave Singapore?


Here's some of the non gold/silver rings.


My first copper ring, if that is what it is.


And the typical coin hall. These are all Singaporean. The exchange rate is $1 US = about $1.22 Singaporean.

Don't forget that White's loves testimonials and gives accessory coupons worth $100 for every one they publish. I have gotten quite a bit of free stuff from them!

What more can you ask for? Easy digging, beautiful scenery, perfect weather and gold coming out of the sand!

Just wondering WHY there are so many coins there. I remember seeing guys w/ detectors 30 yrs ago getting silver dollars at the Boardwalk at Atlantic City. Seems that years ago people went on the Boardwalk,made a wish and tossed the buck into the ocean. Could something like that be going on there? Great posts.
