In the first 20 minutes he pulls up a gold plated sterling ring (with stones). Spot is a little quiet so I suggest we try location #2. Pretty much walks down the beach, digs a hole, and asks me what this foreign coin is - Well, turns out to be a 1920's Gothic florin! In the space of 2 Hrs (Incl. travel)
