I visited Kohi beach after work last night to check out the shifting sands.
I spent an hour detecting at the digging end and another at the filling end and I can report
that so far there is no bonanza of finds available. I found $1.70, a penny and an Aussie 50c and
can confirm that the foil juice bottle seals have been moved from one end of the beach to the other.
At the dig end about 30cm to 50cm has been removed and my E Trac will look down another 30cm
so the finds outlook to date is not great. If they dig much deeper they will create a lagoon for the adjacent yacht club.

Here are some pics of the action.

Good luck.

Yeah I had a look today and found pretty much nothing. The guy on the excavator said they wont go deeper. If you want some excitement then make the mistake I did today and visit ladies bay... naked men everywhere..

Did their detectors have adjustable length poles like yours has?*
