What do I Mako Mendonca enjoy doing in my off-season you ask, well, it is not what you would expect. What I do to wind down is to hit the beaches of Palm Beach (or the Essex countryside when back in the UK) with my metal detector. There is nothing I love more than a calm stroll waving my detector slowly across the ground dreaming of lost Spainish bullion or perhaps a Saxon hoard. I have of course only found cans, ring pulls and the odd pair of sunglasses but you never know what you might find lost to the sand and soil!
