Just ignore him. No beach is anyones private detecting territory.

I have had similar encounters over the years though the last one was a bit more of an issue.

Whilst on holiday a local had a moan at me about being on his beach and i was polite until he got very verbal calling me all sorts of names to which i returned the comment that if he thought i was a nutter then he certainly was. All changed and he pulled a knife and with the blade in his hand he pointed the butt at me saying " do you want some of this". So i walked off and left him to it.

Dangerous man who should have been reported to the police, but i was leaving on the ferry the next morning and had no wish to spend the night giving a statement and so on.
