Nice run on the goldies Heatho. It's going to be a hot summer going by recent weather, should prove to be a bonanza for you guys over East. 
Cheers GP, here's hoping. :Y:
I'm going to do a smallish harbour beach today that I haven't been to for about a year.

Heatho said:Hit Shelly Beach at Manly this morning and gridded the whole beach over 2 hours before it got too packed, got $72.20 and a small sterling silver manta ray pendant. I usually hit this spot every 3 months or so, it seems to have replenished quite nicely, it's a pretty popular beach for detectorists, glad I got back there before anyone else did.

I cannot believe! How much coins you have found! Rapid detectorist!
$72 in coins, that's got to put a smile on ya face.
And in only 2 hours, hope you rewarded yourself with a cold one at the pub on the way home after that effort. :Y:

Cheers fellas, yep always reward myself with a cold Coopers after a swing.
Todays effort at a place called Chinamans beach over near Mosman in Sydney, was hoping for some chunky gold but best I could do was silver, 1 silver ring, 2 x junkers, a bronze medal and about 23 bucks in change, oh and a thrippy.

Cheers fellas.
Very tough conditions there Ktmman.
Those tokens give a great signal hey Art, just like a chunky silver ring, I thought I was onto one and then the token popped out.
Thanks Kev, hopefully the new spot gives you a nice haul of gold and silver treasure.

Can be a real lottery detecting beaches sometimes, i reckon if there was gold there you would have sniffed it out Heatho, nice work. :Y:

For sure mate, if there was gold it would have been found.
I gridded the beach quite carefully though was moving pretty quick to get it done as it was quite a warm day. Most of the harbour beaches are small compared to the likes of Manly so you can actually do all of them in one session with the 17 inch coil, it really carves up a lot of ground very quickly. Yeah I agree about the beach lottery, some pay very well and then others are barren of any treasure. All are worth investigating though. :Y:
Hit another harbour beach today for two hours and got about $55 and a chunky sterling ring which was almost the last target. Parking was $5 an hour so I made about $45 profit. I reckon the parking cost would put most detectorists off. Anyway only did a fraction of the beach and will be heading back for another go soon.

Nice one mate that Ring is a real CHUNKER!!! CLUNKER!!! I go to paid parking spots all the time because as you say it puts detectorists off.
:Y:
What is this "Paid parking" you speak of?
Was worth the pain of paying for sure :Y:
