Some lovely finds and paid for your trip, result. I lived in Vias for a couple of years and if you leave your next trip until the end of October you'll find the Mistral has taken a lot of sand off the beach. The heavier coins literally sit on little piles of sand all over the beach.

In total there is 2.4oz of gold the chain is 18ct with a mix of 18ct 14ct and 9ct charms.
Will go back with an Excalibur if I can save up for one in time.
I was using just a bagged explorer with a lot of duck tape lol so could not really go much deeper than a couple of feet.
Was tempted to sell the gold to buy one but wont to keep it all for my future and when all the fiat currency's go tits up lol.
 ;)
