After a long night partying at our friend Heather's 51st we managed to struggle off to Point Chevalier beach for a late morning Sunday forage. It was overcast and very muggy with little wind and the beach was nearly deserted. Gareth and I went our own ways and after an hour I had found not one keeper in the wet sand area I concentrated on. Even trash was at a minimum. It looked like the beach had recently been detected.

Feeling somewhat despondent I headed back to see Gareth who too had very little in the way of finds. A motley old 10 cent piece was reward for his troubles. We spent another 30 odd minutes before deciding to hit the road home. On the way back to the car park I managed to find two coins, a fifty and a ten cent bit, both very crusty. Gareth adding another ten cents to his haul too.

The day finished up with us going to Saxon Park in Westmere for a quick swing before heading home. And heading home we were, in quick time, when we found the park was a rubber mat park. No treasures to be hidden on that. So a poor day in the field as regard to finds but we were due a quiet one and the mere fact of being out and about was good compensation. So two hours hunting and 80 cents between us. For once Gareth's lunch came out of his own pocket.
See you out there.
