[QUOTE="Robert Le Mal, post: 128124, member: 2546"] thanks - I'm starting to learn how to look for low spots on the bottom where stuff accumulates and gets covered by sand. My long 'tent peg' bottle detector is an idea I ripped off from a forum of keen bottle finders who use a really long spring steel rod in a 'T' shape. Really low tech compared to metal detectors :-) but the sound of steel bumping a bottle is hard to mistake. I could just wait for the next bit of rough weather and then I reckon the sand would move to uncover more stuff. And now I have an idea of not just using a detector on old sites but also probably make or get a long steel rod and look for sunken ground that might be an old dump etc. Branching out I suppose but all great exercise that doesn't hurt anyone.
