your in a very good area for historic finds on land, as for the beach older finds are rare but you will often find victorian items, i have in the past done stretches of the coast by you and found medieval items on the exposed clay.

look forward to seeing what you find, i will mention to my friend that you are doing the beach, if he sees you i am sure he will pass on some great tips as he has done the beach for 20 yrs. when i have been i have always done within 100mtrs of the pier and tried to get the faint signals off the clay.

I,ve found many old items on the beaches ,near me,as an e.g 14th century bronze seal ring,a hammered coin {the only one from a beach} 17th centuary tokens, george 3 shilling,but best of all a 1759 gold guinea,many more but it would take up too much space
