Had an evening spare and work on the horizon so decided to head out on to the local beach to see what was about. New Years seemed really busy down my local beach so thought there would be some rich pickings.
I started fairly late and the beach was starting to empty when i got there, but over the next hour more people started to arrive. I’m guessing it was to see the sunset. I had to move out of the towel line which really impacted the results.
I did grid an area completely near the main exit, but with little success. I’m guessing as it had been in use by a group who never seem to drop anything.
This was the first time i really detected on in to dark with a headlamp. It was easy enough on the beach, but i’m guessing would be much harder if you were were working in the bush. Hats of to you guys who do early and late hunts!
I finished off with $6.85 (2 x $2, 2 x $1, 1 x 50c, 1 x 20c, 1 x 10c 1 x 5c) and 2 x 1c coins. Also picked up a few fishing weights as normal.
