Almost all of this years total is old losses , the cashless society is killing coin hunting now. In the past i have had a lot and my best year was £3411 plus gems. But those totals are a dream now.

Yes. I am not kidding . And the following year it was £3236 and 11 Gold rings , more gems than the year before . But since it has been a lot less in coinage but gems have held to average .

A lot in that year were fresh losses , but also a lot were dirty old losses . I cleaned it all up and banked it . It has paid for my detectors and things since. The hobby has to pay for itself .

I am on the way out in a short time for another search with the Nox . Its a bit overcast and i am expecting rain , will also have to work the tide out till around 1pm . Thats my lot for today , it could be over way before that if i see the beach has built up.

Phrunt . Only about one third of this is from the Gold Coast . I work a lot of beaches in Northern NSW where I came from . But they still work the Gold Coast and  get good stuff . Around Main Beach there will be about 8 detectorists working that and Surfers Paradise but they still get stuff . At the moment there are only a couple of spots with a bit of sand off and that's where we have worked as nobody else likes to do out of the popular spots . You most definately need to bring your detector . There is a group Metal Detecting Gold Coast ,  so you should join that and keep an eye on what's happening . There is always someone talking about a cut on the beach when it happens . Also most go and check out sea cams to see how many are on the beaches . Personally if I need to go I go

Been to the beach for around 3 hours . I found a George V Penny of 1919 and £11.79p and another silver ring and a junk ring.
