Detector(s) used
2 x Excalibur ll, Excal 1000,
Today was my last Island hunt,heading back to the mainland tomorrow.Had my best coin day Euro 73.90c on this beach.... coins were every where...not been hunted for some time, I was even finding oxidised coins in the dry sand...Most gold is out of Excal and my digging range... I did manage a 18k W/B and 9k pendant... Best Stainless Steel day:laughing7: and some silver rings and balled up chains. SAM_0081.webpFormt last hunt.webp
SAM_0075.webp22K adjustable...SAM_0067.webpThese were next to each other.. poor lady lost both her engagement and W/B marked 2003 and very little wear could have been in the water that long?

SAM_0060.webp Have not seen water this clear since the Bahamas....6 meters, that black skinny thing is a small Gar/needle fish.

Hi. Great work. I wish I was hunting in that beautiful water also. Maybe some day. Also when time allows can you let me know how to bring the detector and scoop on a airline thanks Bill

Thanks. I have flown out of Australia and SE Asia to Europe with detectors in my carryon luggage. The batteries I remove but leave in the same bag. My s/steel scoop I put in the hold luggage. Some of the time they want a closer look at the carryon, but I have never been refused or delayed.
 

thats a big pile of loot nice job
 

Thanks for the replies everyone! I detected for 220 hours on this trip, mostly in the water with Excal 10" and 8" coils. Most of the gold is too deep to recover. I was ending up with huge sand craters and just chasing collapsing side walls. Most of the gold came from rocky areas.
View attachment 1866694View attachment 1866695 Just over 500 grams of silver... most has been in the water a long time. SAM_0114.webp SAM_0089.webp The heaviest two. SAM_0116.webp Total gold mostly 18k SAM_0106.webp This is only some of the modern coins... I was cleaning them as fast as I was recovering them.. I don't have room for a tumbler:tongue3:.

SAM_0108.webp Out of circulation coins... I have to go through these carefully...there is still some good stuff in there!

Thanks for looking.
