Week 3 Summary

The highlight of Week 3 would definately be the recovery of the Brides lost ring in the Sydney Harbour. And realistically, without the $700 reward I would not have survived this week. My plan for week 3 was to budget more, but once again this did not work out so well. I had my girlfriend's father stay with us for 3 nights which meant going out a lot. I also had a friend's birthday party, and as we all know drinks can get expensive. I was really hoping to show you all some gold this week, as I usually pull out the occasional gold ring when hunting under water. But obviously I have not been able to pull this off. I think I am going to give up on searching under water for week 4. For the amount of time it takes me to prepare all the scuba gear, get tanks filled, carry gear to and from car..then get home and wash it all..its not worth the effort for this challenge (although a ton of fun).. I feel I am more productive hitting parks and beaches. I also had some other expenses this week which I have not added in, as they are not living expenses but business related. I had to buy a new Scuba Tank, Air Pressure Guage with Compass, and the Shark Shield. This was around $1300 in total.

So this weeks total revenue derived from metal detecting was $979.85. Total living expenses we're $621.75. So I am up $358.10 for the week, which wipes out last weeks loss of $119. Just one week to go till the end of the challenge! :)
