Big Erosion And Some Serious Currents


Recommended Posts

Been a while since I posted any of my finds. Hit the beach earlier and you can see the idiots beefed up the jetties that are in the wrong direction and added some pilons that do diddly. Houses will eventually get undermined and I will gain more beach to detect on! Seems to be the work of a private contractor and not the army corp of engineers. Anyway s only found a little bit of clad and currents seem so bad even found an Australian coin! 🙂 Those coins are HUGE!

Looks like a 20 cent coin.  Australian 50 cent coins are crazy big, you almost need a wheelbarrow to lug them around in your wallet.  The 20 cent isn't too bad, still a giant coin though.  Not sure why they made such big coins, probably to stop you storing too many in your wallet so you're forced to spend them 🙂

That beach has really unusual coloured sand.

Nice finds again, and as Simon has said who would want to carry those around. A few of those and you would have to use 2 belts.

Good luck on your next outing!

I ran out of likes and will return when I have more.

Sand is brought in from outside the area. Natural bottom for that is gravel and clay. Guess people are fussy about what they sunbathe on 🙂

Signal was inbetween a copper and a silver and when I dug it I knew it wasn't silver, almost thought it was a medalion of some sorts lol.

Large coins are kind of nice, good to have something heavier than my trash right?

No it did not, it did the back stroke and then swam on it's back the rest of the way.
