290+ coins! at a Switzerland beach

[silvercoinboy]

I had a week to search my favorite beach in Switzerland. Found more than 290 coins worth about 100 bucks. The Swiss Franc is worth $1.15 and the little coins are 1/2 franc. The largest is 5 francs or $5.75 each! Also some silver jewelry and one small gold earring (.333 or 8ct). I have only covered about 25% of. the grass part of the beach so far so I have lots to go.

Using mostly my Not 800 with the 5 in sniper coil because there are so many targets (50% good)
Waiting for the Manticore small coil to come out.

The second photo is 2 hours at a beer garden playground in Stuttgart Germany - 23 Euros or 26 bucks.

It's so sweet when you find a place that has never been hit. And, they are out there!

I think it was hit before probably 30+ years ago because it is exclusively low conductors. The Swiss coins are all copper nickel from 1968 and sound off in the nickel ranges. Somebody high graded it and got all the silver

OMG I want to get in the water soooo bad!
Thinking about a vacation...Switzerland....Hmmm interesting.
Oh, almost forgot, Switzerland is way up north.
COOD water, but I see rafts so they must swim!
Calling travel agent, now.
What are you doing blogging about it? Get your butt back out there and get in the water!
