Cheers Arry my mate is always down some beach........but he never does the beach itself...he sticks to the dunes where people over decades have been sunbathing and doing picnics......the ammount of stuff he has found is staggering....decent rings top quality watches ....loads and loads of change (old stuff) neck chains...the list goes on..... his trick is saying to himself..."now where would i set up a picnic ..out of the wind and where i can see the kids..." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
