Decided to try some beach detecting today in Talisay, Philippines. A word on the beaches here. It is not like USA at all...there are no woman in bikinis, woman laying on blankets to get a tan. Philippine woman do not like the sun; they even carry umbrellas in the sunshine. Philippine culture is a shy culture and you very seldom see any woman in swim suits let alone bikinis. There are a few beaches where tourist go and where some Filipinos where bikinis but not near where I am. A lot of kids just swimming so I did not expect to find a lot of jewelry.
I did manage to find 2 10 Peso coins today; this is the largest denomination coin in circulation. 44 Pesos is equal to 1 dollar so a 10 peso coin is about 23 cents. Found a childs ring also on the first beach. It got hot early so took a break and came back to a second beach in town. There I only managed 2 coins but I got a reading which was breaking up but sounded "silvery" so I decided to dig. I scooped some sand and still did not see target so scanned the hole and did not hit anything right away. Moved some sand around then got a twang hit and up came this nice 925 silver bracelet!!
A lot of people were watching and one lady tried to take the bracelet so I called it a day.
Coins Found:
Two 10 Peso coins
Seven 5 Peso coins
Eleven 1 Peso coins
Two 25 centavos coins
One 5 centavos coin
