Gee, no shortage of coins despite the solitary thrip, hopefully a ring or two might show up next time out. :Y:
Well, another ECL has made itself felt,
so last night i made the 3+ hour round trip to see what i could come up with
As soon as i pulled up, i could see exactly where i was heading... a nice big cut
(Once i reached it , i wished i could have been here the day before.)
Oh well i paid for fuel and got 3 silver rings (im happy with that )

Sandta, it's a 5hr trip for me but I was almost tempted to visit the rellies.
Was there much of a whash out - cut on the beaches with this storm? I had heard there were good high tides. Pitty the wind wasn't from the NE.

Well that's a very good day out on the beach, 3 Silvers BOOM Ring a Ding Dings. :Y:
:Y:
Ha, a bit of deja vu :8
I just read my last post .... my last real beach outing
Well , with the ECL all over the news (and since i have the day off) i decided to swap my nice warm bed for a cold wet morning on the beach. :Y:
Living so far away , i had no real knowledge of what was happening with shifting sand ( except for a hint from Heatho)
So my first choice (my go to beach) was fully sanded in , bearing in mind what Heath had said , i took off for the most likely spot.
A quick glance over the rail and i was hurrying to get my act together.
As i was loading up with the "essentials" i suddenly realised i had left an inticate part of those essentials at home
(There was A LOT of self abusive name calling going on right at that point !)
Good thing no one was around
Ok ... i jumped off the last step , down onto the sand , BAM ... first target was the '36 threepence
Unfortunately that was the only pre dec
I hunted in and around the exposed rocks and as you can see there were a few to be had
HOWEVER since i forgot my picks and pliers a lot of the targets still remain wedged in the nooks and crannies
You would think that having aprox 18 months between hunts .... 'TO PREPARE' , one would have their shit together :lol:
Maybe next time

Nice little hunt, glad you're able to get out for a swing.. :Y:
Not a bad hunt mate, bummer about forgetting the gear. I was keen this morning to hit the beach but the rain was heavy and I just gave it a miss.
Ive been calling myself plenty of names all daysilver said:Have to knick name you wreckin-bar then Sandta.... tch..tch..tch. Left all those sov's in the rocks..... nice silver stuff though !
"Wreckin-bar" doesnt even come close
Heatho said:
Cheers mate , ye that sure was a FAIL
Oh well ... someone else might get amongst it before its buried again.
Thanks for the tip
No worries mate, glad my info was sort of relevant to your area as well. Today though totally different, 2 metres of sand stripped off my local, must have been all the rain with the rough swell, dunno but was a frenzy swinging today. Will post pics tomorrow, nothing too exciting but was good to get out.
