Anyone in Okinawa???

[Bobbypins]

I'm going to Okinawa Japan in Oct/Nov 2010 for a couple of years, I'd like to meet some new people to detect with. I'm wanting to try some beach or shallow water hunting and will come heavily equipped for the occasion. If there's anyone that would be interested, feel free to email me at [email protected] or add me as a buddy on your Yahoo messenger: Nate75088

Bump... haven't heard from anyone yet. I guess there's nobody in Okinawa (specifically the Kadena base)?

Sorry to say, I'm not in Okinawa. I'm in Honshu right now.

I'm sure I can find someone when I get there, but wanted to get a heads up on what to expect prior to dragging everything over. There's got to be someone... either a GI or a contractor like myself that frequents this site.

Here is a recent link from this year of another member here who hunts Okinawa on occasion.......I was there in 1968-1970...

I've heard that it's a beautiful place, and if my wife wants to stay, chances are we could stay there a LOOOONNNNGGGGG time.

After some digging around online, I found another guy who recently started detecting over there (he hasn't responded to my post). According to what this guy was posting, it seems very much like a virgin area. I really think I'm going to enjoy all that beach hunting... with or without a hunting partner.

MD in Japan is like shooting fish in a barrel. If there is a plot of land, chances are there are treasures. I know of a guy that metal detects in Japan. He has a YouTube account. Here it is.

There's also two guys who regularly post's their finds of MDing in Japan.

That video sure looks like what I'm reading about.... lots of finds, and QUALITY finds at that. I saved his channel on my youtube account, so now I can see more of his videos.

I'm starting to get excited now....
