Not much, Between the skyrocketing prices of gold causing everyone to sell any and all gold they have and then some of us out there all day long right in the middle of the swimmers, there just isn't that much lost now. I have actually been sitting on the beach, seen some guy go by detecting and then witnessed people coming out of the surf to put rings, chains, ear rings and so forth "up" with their loved ones. It just throws up a major red flag. I prefer early morning or late night "stealth" hunting myself, but hey to each his own. Not trying to kick a bee's nest or anything, just relaying what I have seen with my own eyes. Oh well, maybe stainless steel or Carbide markets will go through the roof someday.
