Just to shut this thread down..................
Well a couple of weeks after losing it I saw a lady on the beach with a detector, she was a professional with a waterproof / submersible detector.
I told her about where I lost it and she told me if she finds it she charges $150.......
I get an email about 7.00pm that night saying she had found it and will drive it up from her house at Twin Waters tomorrow morning.
Hows that for luck!
That's good stuff eh?
As an interesting side note, the woman, if she is a professional, may have said something like; she charges to search for your item. Because if she just finds it and keeps it, without making reasonable attempts to return it to it's rightful owner, she can possibly get done for "theft by finding". ie. she finds it, without making an agreement to charge for searching, then says she isn't giving it back till you pay the money. Even so, $150 is cheap for the return eh.
