I knew there were a lot of people in China, but this is nuts! This is the stuff that metal detecting "WET DREAMS" are made of! :lol:

Think it's been hunted??? :shrug:

1970's before all the pollution problems we had up here that scared people away from the beaches. We never really recovered from it and our beaches only have about 30%-40% of the crowds we used to get. It would really be great to hunt those beaches in China!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say it SHOULD be good detecting, however I was there and people don't really wear and can't really afford to purchase any good jewelry ( I think the pickings would be slim, just IMHO as gold is really scarce there)!




Thanks, and HH!
 
Wow!
That is simply amazing to me.
WHERE did these pics come from?
An intense feeling of cultural difference from our own.
Our beaches seem to be clumps of like-minded people trying to keep
some space between each other for a comfort zone.
Even as they all hit the water.
Yet even our biggest holidays don't generate that amount of traffic!

The China pics seem like it's some sort of corporate sponsor day at the beach.
...or an opportunity to go to beach is only possible that way.
Maybe some regulator has the master calendar for the sun season and biz groups make
their reservations????

All told, very interesting.
Thanks for posting the great pics!

Yeah, it would SEEM that way, but I think it's just the normal beach traffic for the height of summer there. With the world population at 6.6 billion and China sitting at 1.3 billion, it's not hard to see why on a good beach day, their beach would look like that.

We only have 303,652,650 people here in the US, according to http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html so the China numbers are pretty staggering when you look at that!
 
Yeah, Tony and me were talking about that today...speculating on those Cobra and Viper machines, envisioning our Chinese counterparts out there pounding away with their funky looking machines.

I'm just wondering if detecting is even ALLOWED there...those commies are pretty heavy-handed with what they let their people do. It would seem that if they DID find anything, they'd have to turn it over to the state anyway, right?
 
A very good point...and one that I totally failed to think about. When you work all day to all be able to get the same semi-stale bread and the same butt-scratching toilet paper, I guess that gold and diamond jewelry items are slim to none. I'll bet the ruling class has it, but then I'm sure they don't swim and frolic with the worker bees. :shrug:
 
A few thousand years of Confucianism followed by Maoism has made for a very conformist culture. It's hard to imagine a lone wolf, detectorist swinging his way down the beach while surrounded by all those sheep lined up neatly in rows. Nah, I can't see metal detecting as we know it being a big sport in mainland China.

Cheers Mate,

BDA:cool:
 
You would think they were all afraid of getting a sun tan and drowning.......Jeeeeeeeze. If they are that cautious then they probably left all their gold at home.
 
Very true. So I guess that even tough it's never been hunted and even though there are ALL those people out there, it would be a pretty fruitless hunt. Nothing out there but a few million yen probably.

I wonder...after you finished a hunt there if you'd be wanting to hunt it again 20 minutes later??? :lol:
 
Seeing the way the umbrellas are set up it's almost like the beach has been marked out in a grid and the umbrellas set in holders of some kind by a group of workers. There are just too many people there and chances of getting every one placing their umbrella in the correct position is nearly impossible.

The next thing to look at is if your are in the middle of this mess, there just isn't much standing/walking space to get to the beach and back. It looks like most people have to crawl to the water and back.

I'll tell you what I don't see and that's porta johns or concessions stands. Not my idea of a nice day at the beach. :thumbdown:
 
Wow, that's very interesting. I especially like this part:

"This really is only the beginning, there are so many shipwrecks in this area, fishermen often snag artefacts in their nets, sometimes they even wash ashore," he said.

With the typhoons they have over there, coupled with the probable afore-discussed lack of any metal detecting community, who knows what might turn up in the wet sand and shallow gullies over there? I'd sure like to give it a shot!
 
...I'll tell you something I DO see, and that's the Mickey D's Golden Arches. Looks like they're trying to facilitate a little free ad space there by providing the umbrellas. And hopefully luring the folks in, to partake of a pretty decent alternative to the old "cat burger" :lol: Despite it probably being a quicker route to cardiac arrest than the kitty fritters. :)
 
With the total amount of jewelry possibilities i would love to try this place. China is a poor country, but lots of jewelry is passed down in the families.
REMEMBER, gold has not always been as high as it is today. The people in China have been swimming in the ocean probably longer than we have been here in the U.S.
JUST THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES !
