Much of the sand in that area was excavated due to the Torrens mouth completely silting up a few weeks back. The northern side of the mouth copped a fair bit of erosion where the king tides ran right up to the sand hills, and took away a good couple of metres of sand. I got a few coins here, but since then a loader has re-deposited the sand to prevent further erosion. The fence line in front of the dune was actually sitting a good foot in the air due to the erosion.
The area in front of the yacht club was quite lucrative a while back when the whole area copped a storm or two, but has since been sanded in for quite a long time, with nothing found other than construction rubbish, probably from when the club was first built.
I regularly do seacliff beach, and although the wave action takes the sand to the north, the bedrock is very shallow here, and provides a good trap for heavies. The only issue is that this area has been sanded in for a good couple of months now vs the good rocky gutters that were exposed during the summer months.
