Metal Detector Challenge Day (Night) 3

As luck would have it, 3 days into the Challenge and I manage to get a flu. But after popping a few cold and flu tablets, Wilson and myself are back in the car eager for tonight's hunt. After having some luck in a picnic area on Night 2, I decided to head to a harbour side park which I know is very popular on weekends for picnics and BBQs. This turned out to be a horrible place to metal detect. I realise that when metal detecting parks you will get plenty of rubbish signals..but this place was something else. Without exaggerating, with each swing of the coil I was sometimes getting over 5 signals...and because they are so close together the metal detector was spluttering and working overtime to discriminate between rubbish and non rubbish. I continued searching this park for better spots, but after about 2 hours of hunting through junk, and about $1.70 in my pocket...I decided it was time to try somewhere else.


Still going along with the picnic area idea, I head to another beach about 5 minutes drive away. I walk straight to the wood chipped area and begin my search. Things are a little slow, and I am running low on energy. I decide to walk down to the sand and hunt the towel line. I hunt the dry sand until I am physically exhausted. I didn't quite make the full 7 hour shift tonight...but I will make it up once I shake off this flu. Tonight's haul is down on the previous two days, totalling $33.75 in modern currency. No expenses on Day 3, still eating what is left in the fridge.
