Anyone here on the gc , the southern beaches have 1 to 2 meters cut away from the dunes . Planning on heading from work with the ctx and smacking a few coins.
Very nice Heatho. Touch wood I am yet to come across a spicky drug giver, always in the back of my mind though and a good reminder of what danger can be in the ground while chasing coins.
Cheers GW, yeah you do have to keep your eyes open. Would hate for a kid to step on something like that, I told the parents with kids at the beach to be careful, really sux having to look out for such things.
I think they should be made bright yellow or orange so they are easier to see when on sand like that, nothing is going stop the druggies from using so the manufacturers should do something in my opinion. On city beaches like these I'm always pretty careful, it's certainly not the first one I've found, probably about the 5th so far.
Cheers mate, I did the dry area up behind the washaway yesterday, still got a few coins in the washed out areas but most was from the dry, I reckon half of those coins were recent drops from people sitting there watching the big surf.
Don't see many diabetics throwing there syringes in the gutter or drain or just leaving them where they fell asleep Plenty of syringes around parks in Parramatta. Found 1 (saw 1) sticking needle up between train seats in town (Central rail station), now that was set up to get someone a beauty. I had my 6yr old niece with me also, that's the only reason I had my eye out for danger. Dead set pr*cks (pun intended). That's right Rocket, an aussie guy came up with a syringe that when the plunger is pushed down it then pulls the needle back into the syringe if trying to be reused. Govt wouldnt cough up the extra $1 per syringe to make Australia a safer place. Last time I was in Parramatta Park I found a spot with 6 syringes sitting on the ground behind a wall (obvious junkie hangout). On the wall was a sign that said "Don't discard needles here, There is a sharps bin in the Public toilets 200 meres away. Use it". Firstly, as if a junkie is going to read it and wake up from there nice little nap and walk 200 metres to use the sharps bin, they're lucky to remember to pull it out of their arm. Secondly, why would you bother drilling a wall and screwing a sign to it instead of screwing a sharps bin to it? Enough from me, stay safe guys, eyes open. Back to topic,
Gotout for about an hour this morning, thought I struck gold until I had a closer look. Bloody junk rings...... This one has been there a long time though, was totally encrusted with sand until I soaked it in citric acid solution for a few hours to reveal it's copper colour. I will hit this beach again over the next few days as I got quite a few goldies in a short amount of time and some 2c coins that were sunbaking on top of the sand.
