Did a blog post on this the other day. I reckon on the beaches there is on average 800 pieces of gold for every 1 km of beach. Most people reading this go "Yeah Right" but think about it and work it out - 80-100 years of beach goers..... I hold to that figure. My blog post explaining my thoughts on this is here:

Beaches Sprinkled with gold

Of course getting to these riches is another matter entirely.


Nice one Shilo. Those odds sound right and with that in mind im now even more keen on the idea of finging G on the beach. Gold, good stuff.

I reckon. Doing well there chrisyboy. Really like the silver its exciting stuff. Wots the go when your detector hits metal, does it beep, or does it have a particular sound. hangin out to have a go.
