Could only manage a 1 dollar coin ,2 cent,20 cent and a toy dinky this mourning.Thought the beach would yield a bucket full of goldies but think that the coins sink far too deep too quickly .So unless you go out after a nice weekend then i reckon they are lost and only the really expensive minelabs are going to find them.Still hoping to get that elusive sov

Hi. I think you will find that the stuff is still there, you just have to wait for some rough weather hopefully on a higher than normal tide. Must be hardy souls going to the beach in Invercargil! I have been to the kart track a couple of times and that was pretty cold. Cheers Metal Mikey.
