Nuke em Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yesterday was nice and warm at around 24 c and i heard that someone over a week ago lost a Gold ring in the sand and low tide but being the sand doesn't show till a bit under 1 m low tides i doubted i would find it but had to have a look anyway . I took the Nox on the Anderson shaft and took the Terra box and coil in the rucksack. I got to the beach not long after high tide and worked the tide out , it was very quiet . When the tide was out at around 4.30pm and i couldn't get onto the sand because of waves i gave up . I will search there again on a longer tide . With the Nox i had £5.62p and a 2 Euro coin . I then changed machines and did the tops , before doing so i checked to see if the Nox would work and yet again it wouldn't stay stable so that was that . I am thinking its all the people with Mobile phones and there is less chatter than if few people are about so Terra had to play . I changed over and went in for the kill hoping for plenty of fresh losses . But again this year is showing just like last year the rapid decline of cash . I found £13.53p and a 1 Euro but in past times i would have tripled that at least . I finished at 8.30pm after over 8 hours . My bald head and forearms were also red with Sunburn . Not sure what to do today "Monday" , might go later for low tide but not sure if it will be worth taking the Nox . The weather is warm again although there is threat of thunderstorms but i dont care about that . I am going to have to find some new beaches , with coin hunting getting harder and my beaches tending not to be the best for Gold i will have to travel further . Will see what the Summer brings on my local beaches for the next month first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackpine Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The fresh water lakes here are played out as our swim season is June thru August and they get hit hard. Found a beach last week where the sand moved out enough to reveal the older stuff. Scored a 1912 V Nickel at waist deep so I'm going back today with the WP headphones and hit the deeper areas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke em Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 I was going to go today , the weather is very warm and sunny but i ate a big bowl of Cornflake earlier with somewhat dodgy milk so i dont know if my "personal disposal system" will be working right later LOL And out in the Sun earlier i developed a Migraine and the Sun and dehydration causes them too so we'll see .

Nuke em Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 On 26-27 May 2012 , similar weather as yesterday and crowds . I did 3 back to back searches with the Terra of the time "not this one i have now" and found the following £96.73p on the evening of 26th then i went back very early next morning and found £95.14p and then in the evening another £47.45p and a Silver ring . Dont have pictures , lost them all on a previous laptop . Now i back everything up on a stick . Theres not a Rats 5 pointed star's chance that those sort of targets can be achieved these days .

Rick K - First Member Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I blame parking meters which take credit cards - there go all the quarters! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke em Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Parking here is done by phone as well as other means , debit cards and contactless are killing cash . Even Bus travel can be paid by card and all the pre paid tickets dont help. The words Pound / Dollar and even Euro and others will all become meaningless one day and everything will be digital. Then people will have no value for money as they wont see it , they will overspend and get into debt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I am only detecting the beaches for two years now, but I also experience what you do.. less money on each hunt. Two weeks ago there were 6 detectorists on the same beach at the same time.. not much left over. I think I found ~120€ since having the nox. Not too bad, still no swimming season.. but I‘ve been out almost 5/7 days - how ever, it still makes fun ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
