Anyone doing any metal detecting around Pattaya, or maybe further?

Didnt get much of a reply, so will ask again. Anyone interested in metal detecting around Pattaya, or further maybe?

G'day mate, can't help you to much but I can share the little bit that I know, Living in Pattaya, I often see many locals detecting on the beaches all around Pattaya, mostly where ever tourist are enjoying the beach in the daytime, the metal detectors come out in the evening going over the sand in search of coins, watches, rings, jewelry and whatever they can detect, detecting around Pattaya may be pretty futile as the Thai's use Thailand as their own rubbish dump and there will be too many nuts, bolts, nails, old machine parts, you name it, it'll be dumped. The area's in and around Essan have very high iron ore deposits on or close to the surface. On another note, the Thai news agencies usually have Thai magazines Promotting metal detecting in Thailand and seems popular, ok hope this helped.

P.s. I just started my first website and would be happy if you came for a look www.pattayaguide.org

cheers, pattayaguide.
