Today I walked down the steps onto the beach and noticed a very large digger excavating the sand right up against the rock seawall.It appeared the workman were putting in some large pilings for a new beach attraction.They were digging a large area at least 3 feet deep and piling the sand up closeby.I knew if I went near them they wouldn't entertain me so I went off to another beach to wait them out!.
About an hour later I ventured back and they and the digger had gone, but not the piles of sand & large pebbles .. now this looked like "heaven" to me.
Over about 30 minutes I scored quite a few coins including a 1944 florin and then with a solid 9 on the Nox maybe just 3 or 4 inches deep out pops this beauty.A 9ct chain bracelet, weight 15.2 grams.I don't think it has been there too long, perhaps a year or two as there are no signs of verdigris showing!
Getting close to paying off this Badboy!

Waiting for that excavated sand was just great! That's seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.
