Shoalhaven Beach Finds

[7.62marksman]

Went out to the Shoalhaven Heads Beach for one hour and found this
The watch is a Seiko 100m Mens Gold And Black still working and has todays date however it was 1 hour behind when cleaned up there are no scratches anywhere on the watch it is as new condition
I was using my Grandfathers Goldseeker 12000 which he got back in the early 80s
Who else do we have in the Shoalhaven that has something to show

Yes was a big shock when it came to the surface was about 6" under the sand

Nice find well done. I bet someone's missing that watch it's a beauty.

Going to contact the surf club tomorrow see if someone has reported it missing give it back

From memory if you fill out a lost and found form with the cops it's legally yours if unclaimed in three months.
Jon

 

[7.62marksman]

Yes that is true
i did find $5k a few months ago and they said it would have to be on the register for 6 months then if not claimed it was mine (only 1 month to go i can feel a mine lab coming on)
i have rang the club (number on the net) and they have had no watches reported lost in the last few months
so now we will wait and see

A decent watch for a change, well done. Usually they are beyond help, though appears that the Seiko hasn't been lost all that long ago. Next one will hopefully be a Rolex or an Omega.

You found $5000????

 

[7.62marksman]

Yes it was an hour behind with todays date and about 2m above the high tide mark so it was not there long
Lol na already got a Rolex has not missed a beat in all the years i have had it 20 yrs (was my grandfathers)
Yes i found 5k i done the right thing and handed it in so now just waiting to see if the money god wants me to have a detector or not

 

[Goldpick]

I was wondering where that 5k got to.

 

[7.62marksman]

lol what denominations was it in and its yours you must have dropped it when you were over this way or did i find it somewhere else lol

Who else do we have in the Shoalhaven that has something to show

Had a swing down at Cudmirrah beach (Sussex Inlet) the other evening, not quite up to your results but at least it keeps me in sinkers

 

[7.62marksman]

Yes might have to do some fishing lol i am going to try vincentia area on friday i think just trying to do all the beaches i can around the area but after today i think my luck might run out for a while
All this is practice for my week at jerrong in the near future need to work out thd settings on the detector

 

[iana]

It was my first try at beach detecting, quite pleasant down there late in the afternoon when the wind finally drops.. Next project is to work on a sand scoop of some kind.
Best of luck with Jerriong, I think beach gold is about the limit now for my poor old GT16000

 

[7.62marksman]

Very poor run tonight

 

[Goldpick]

I've had many nights detecting the beach with not much to show for my efforts, it's tends to be either a feast or famine. Sometimes just a quick look at my local beaches and the sand movements was enough to make up my mind on whether to have a go or not, especially if chasing older/deeper targets.

 

[7.62marksman]

yes i found that out tonight so i will be back out Monday but a change of beach this time

 

[7.62marksman]

Well Monday has come and gone didnt even get petrol money lmao

 

[Heatho]

Sooner or later a nice golden something will turn up.

 

[7.62marksman]

i look at it this way at least the beach is a bit cleaner lol
