Kicked off beach by Japanese patrol but scored before he got there :)

[Soup]

So I went out last night because am off for the next three days. Took me an hour to drive there. I was there maybe 30 mins pulled a bunch of junk then I hit some 18K gold. As soon as I put it away here comes the beach patrol. He kicked me out, now let me tell you I have never been kicked out, I can always talk my way out of it with a little Japanese and humor. After talking to the guy for about 5 mins he was not having it, so I left. I decided to go to another place I have not been in awhile. This place the sand has moved a lot. I found everything else from this place.
Yen 5,136 ($65)
18K Gold ring 3g
7 Silver rings
1 Silver dolphin earring
Junk earring
2 Junk rings
2 buttons
Success Vintage Alba watch (I thought for sure this was gold, it was very deep an so clean) Anyone have any ideas? I tried to google it. On the back it says Base Metal V701-0A10 [RD] Japan 4D0408 (AG)

Thanks as always for stopping in. Good luck.

Nice watch! I take it that it still works. Maybe it is gold plated.

Nice Haul

All I know about Alba watches are that they are made by SEIKO

I like watches and found my best pocket watch at a beach, a Victorinox Swiss Army. I like yours better.

Which beach did you get kicked off of?

The one we started hitting up recently. He told me it was dangerous to be there haha. Even though I was only going knee deep. Too funny.

Nice haul! AU is the symbol for gold.

Great finds. I tried to find the watch too but no success.

Nice watch, looks like gold plated stainless steel. Closest match was this one.

Also looks like the watch was the 408th one made in December of 2004.

Thank you all for the information. I think I will change the battery and use it myself as I like it also.

Dangerous from what? Locals? or them? Now you know were the Gold is! Nice haul.

Great haul!

My first thought is, If it's so dangerous to be there, how did all that stuff get there then...?!?!
