Searched as far away from all the beach Erosion repairs today as I could get. I swear if another excavator pushed me off a cut I was going to throw my scoop through has windscreen. ( not really )
I know all this work has got to be done but it;s fairly depressing to watch areas that you know produce bulldozed and excavated away.
Anyway after 4 hours and two small beach cuts and nothing much to show for it other than the thinest silver ring thing I have ever detected and and a silver earring and a couple of pre dec.( Australian old coins ) I decided the best thing I could do is take a break buy a pie and choc milk regroup and look for another low spot.
I found just the spot except the trouble was a lady was detecting the exact area already with her E trac.
So I sat and watched her finishing my pie and drink sitting in the shade cringing while she pendulum swung away. I thought what the hell ran back grabbed my gear already thinking of how i would introducing my self and ask if she would mind if I detected near by.
When i got back on to the beach I could not see her anywhere. Turns out as I was away grabbing my gear she had decided to have a rest right where I'd been sitting watching her.( It was hot today )
Made me jump as she said hello sitting quietly right behide me turned out all good introductions over and I went to the side of where she had been detecting my first target was a fork and the second was a gold ring tried to hide it but she got up and came over real quick must have been my happy dance.
Dont think she was to happy after that turns out she had only found a few coins
