Danny, I am in Okinawa Japan. I have only been on the island for 2 1/2 months. There are a handful of people hunting Okinawa. I just got a Sand Shark at the beginning of March, so I am just now learning the island. Look through this forum for post made by Bobbypins and Soup,and you will see that there is alott to be found here. I was very fortunate to hook up with Bobbypins who helped get me going. My totals for March (6 hunts), are 5,351 Yen ($64,70 us). And two Silver rings, and a few miscellaneous jewelery items. My hand is blistered from all the digging. Okinawa beaches are very rocky.
