Hi all,

Just back from a hunt to Monaco tonight, I always had some good tickets over there, this time was even better.

CTX 3030 with the 17" coil was out for the party with the Mal UK beach program (seawater on), here's what I've found...

Probably lost by a Monegasc (Monaco resident) or a Swiss tourist going for a swim or maybe used during a windy day to avoid beach towel from getting away??? :laughing7:

Can't see finding something like that, pretty tough to loose a 5-10kg gold bar, not that gold bars are not found on the beach though.

Ok... Why would anyone go swimming with a bar of gold in their pocket?

It makes no sense.

Why do people do any of the crazy things they do. Maybe he/she was trying to impress their friends with Mom & Dads gold bar and lost it. A gold bar is a great find. Congratulations.

Mine was the same style. I found the frame that was with it but the jump ring had broken off. Looked for the chain but no go. Great finds.
