Decided to head out after work for a few hours to my local beach last night. It has been packed over the festive period and I thought there should be some goodies having been left behind. It was very warm, so it was nice to be by the ocean with a nice breeze coming in.
The hunt started well picking up $1.50 in a spill on the entry way. I worked my way around the soft sand checking the other entrances. Not much doing, picked up a further $3.20
Quite a few people came over and asked some questions. There is a lot of foreign people on this beach for some reason they all ask whether i need a license or such, or if i’m employed by the government?!? I even got asked one time if i was security looking for bombs… the mind boggles as the places people have come from that makes them think such things. I guess the camo shirt and shorts doesn’t help 🙂
The beach was fairly empty when i got there about 6pm, but started to fill up again for sunset, so I wasn’t really able to work the towel line. High tide was late morning so i wasn’t able to hit that, and the low tide wasn’t that low either.
As it got dark I headed back to the foreshore, but has left it to late and it was getting too dark to see. I picked up another 70c on the foreshore and called it quits about 8:45pm.
I’ll probably get back down there after the new year when I have a bit more time and hopefully it’s not as busy
