Whats the best item you have found on your beach.

Postby cornish rattler » Fri Feb 18, 2011 12:46 pm

Hi guys

just want to here from peeps who have found stuff on different beaches around the country to give me an idea of what i can expect obviously every beach is different but would be interesting what peeps have found.

Only detected on a beach twice and the best item was a £2 coin found on a Norfolk beach! I'm sure other peeps have found far more interesting stuff!...

Its better out of the ground and in your hand for the history or monetary value rather than left in the ground to rot doing nothing for anyone.
