Another Unlikely Spot Yields Gold Ring..


Recommended Posts

What made this unlikely spot a bit more likely than the hundreds like it was an old fence post in a cleared area.. This is on the ocean-side of the lagoon at Horseshoe Bay.. It's a bit of a bush bash getting there but as part of my new mindset: 'You never know until you give it a go' I thought I'd better put my money where my mouth was.. Anyway, the new mindset worked again with a penny, half-penny and six pence (1942-1946) as well as a few 1 and 2 cent pieces and the compulsory bullets.. But what made the new mindset really worthwhile was a little gold ring (22 carat) which rang up as a solid 11 on the Foxy Noxy.. I was hoping for some old silver coins but didn't expect a gold ring..

Well done Eric, "a bit of a bush bash to get there" 200mtrs from Pacific Drive through the dunes ? Is that 'resort style bush bashing' next you'll be telling us you needed a guide 🙂 Well done old boy, I'm just envious.

Haha.. Mate, it's bloody hard going along the top of the creek bank, and there's a waist-deep crossing to get over to this side.. And no end of crocks to worry about.. 😁 I even had to wear thongs.. X marks the spot..

Eric,

Please tell us that you accidentally put the thong on after waking up next to a beautiful woman before running out the door with your detector before her husband came home.

Second did you also wear her high heels while metal detecting?

Nice hunt and nice looking ring.

The joys of language, I'm sure Eric meant to say flip flops. Get that other image out of your heads please
