I think i might go for a week somewhere and see if i can recover enough rings to cover flight cost :-)

He doubts Koreans would metal detect as it would be seen to be too public a thing to do. So the beaches would be crammed silly with lost jewellery and coins! Something to think about. Mind you the police might arrest you thinking that you are some kind of North korean spy!

When i return to NZ- provide your documents back to Customs and they will refund the amount charged. Cool!I am so excited!
