Metal Detecting Adventures.: Mothers Day....thinking of you.
http://westlainboy.blogspot.com/2013/05/mothers-daythinking-of-you.html
Tuesday, 14 May 2013. Mothers Day.thinking of you. Sunday was another peach of a winters day and a friend Dave who is on his way down to the South Island to do some prospecting came along for a swing. He loaned the Garrett ACE150. First stop after a late lunch was Rawlpindi Reserve in Point Chev. Dave skirting the edges of a barren Rawlpindi Reserve. So not a coin between us and a good hour spent on the job. Part of Balmoral Park from across a duel carriageway. We decided on home and I could feel Dave's ...

Metal Detecting Adventures.: Beach Life
http://westlainboy.blogspot.com/2013/04/beach-life.html
Sunday, 28 April 2013. Bit of beach what I did (park in far distance). What I found where I did. The best find was a very small coin very encrusted and in poor condition. It was about 6 inches down. New Zealand 3d coin (uncirculated). The key looks like it was freshly dropped and who knows what inconvenience the loss has caused. The small round piece of jewelry has a solid white stone like setting which looks powdery but doesn't powder. A marble sort of substance. See you out there. Pay Dirt NZ Forum.

Metal Detecting Adventures.: Tornado Reserve
http://westlainboy.blogspot.com/2013/05/tornado-reserve.html
Tuesday, 28 May 2013. My lack of blogs for a couple of weeks is due to the fact I have been having my computer fixed (thanks Jim) and what with guests, visitors, parties and the wet weather my adventures have been few this last fortnight. I did managed to visit Tornado Reserve in my travels, a quiet little park near the Westpark Marina. It seems quite a while ago now. See you out there. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Monday, 7 October 2013. The 'RIP Cuzzy Bro' hunt. It's been a sad week for the family. My cousin, Joel, son of my Uncle John to whom this blog is dedicated passed away in Brighton, England a few days ago. Thoughts are with the rest of the family in Brighton. It took a while to locate any targets and just as I was thinking it would be a somewhat barren day the Cobra burst in to life and I had a flurry of signals. Mostly spending and as I said very little trash. A quick recap of the past while. Sept 3rd Wa...

Metal Detecting Adventures.: Metal Detecting Jargon
http://westlainboy.blogspot.com/p/metal-detecting-jargon.html
What does it all mean? A glossary of terms, by no means definative. Please feel free to post any I have missed or indeed don't know about :) and I will add them to the list. Detectorists who search beaches. Solid ground beneath the sand or topsoil. Sand with very high iron content on which it is very hard to get a good ground balance. Lots of of coins/jewellery buried in one place. Pieces of buried shredded can and other small trash. The plate at the base of your detector. LED display on the detector.

Tuesday, 7 May 2013. A Tee for Two. I've been studying a 1941 map of Auckland, kindly sent to me by fellow detectorist J C Allen. Looking for potential detecting sites. I found a few, a disused brickwork site with the remains still visible on Google earth, a couple of wharves that no longer exist and a few other interesting anomalies that need to be investigated. The old club house, white building, 15 mm left of the red badge, top centre. Ye Old Club House Under a Vivid Blue Winter Sky. It was hard to le...

Metal Detecting Adventures.: The Boys Keep Swinging....
http://westlainboy.blogspot.com/2013/05/gareth-ritchie-and-myself-headed-out.html
Tuesday, 14 May 2013. The Boys Keep Swinging. Gareth, Ritchie and myself headed out this morning for a few hours to check out a couple of parks hidden away in Whenuapai. I was with my Cobra Beach Magnet , Gareth with his Garrett AT Pro and Ritchie with a loaned Garrett ACE 150. I suggested a fiver in for most spending finds but the lads did not rise to the challenge. The Beach Magnet took that as a compliment. Ritchie getting a head start on the lads. Can anybody recommend a decent video editor? Gareth p...
