Popped into my local metal detector store yesterday morning and bought a fairly cheap model. I had only been on the beach for a couple of hours but by noon I had found 27 mobile phones, 83 sets of keys, 34 watches, umpteen wallets containing an assortment of notes and coins and various mp3 players and hifi's.
And my cheapo machine detected all of these items even though they were concealed beneath neatly folded piles of clothing and towels.
What fun. My local pawn broker has put me on his payroll.

I saw a guy doing that .then my surfboard got missing. so that was YOU?I must try that sometime.But I think I will save some money and just use a Willow branch that's forked like the way some people find water underground.Thanks for the idea though.I am only joking.I dont steal.You know I have a way to trace your Internet line to your home. I wont my surf board back.and WILL find out what pawnshop you go to.I will strip the skin from your body till you tell me where its at.then feed your skin to the gulls.then put a rock into your cut open stomach and throw you to the gators.so say your prayers. I am on my way in my pickup truck with the Confederate flag on the window.Its a red truck. so watch out Yankee.now how did I know your a Yankee.I can smell you from here.

Good on you, Pom! I always like to see someone use enterprise and get ahead. If you like, you may be able to get more metal detectors and hire people to work under you.
If I lived near a beach I would give it a go and send you 10% of the profits.

As you never found a Mensa membership or library card, it is definitely Australian lost property.

Nope, I've got a mailbox and royalty checks. Good enough for me.
