Title: Men getting paid to detect the beaches
Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on July 02, 2009, 08:21:03 AM
when i was in the Museum yesterday  the guy there told me that when he was in Portugal on his hols last year there were 2 men on the beach  with detectors,
 they'd be going up and down all day long.
 they were paid by the council to find items of lost jewelry ect that the public had lost,   plus they were getting rewarded from the people when they found their items,
 they had council clothes on  so the public can recognise them,
 but hey, what a job,  i'd like some of that myself i think

Hey that's my kind of job!  :) :)

On a lot of the beaches in Spain they use a machine which sifts the top 6" of sand, they do this every night after the beaches are deserted. Primarily its to remove any glass, tin cans etc but I bet they make some fantastic finds. I often wonder if they get to keep them. mmmmmm. :)

Wow! Sounds better than a lottery win! I wonder who gets to keep the unclaimed stuff? And the untraceable small change?
