Hi

If you ever take up sea-fishing you'll be well away !

That's some haul from a small sized area - well found.



Cheers

i used to fish in that ares so several could have been mine , 4 of them were tangled in line together so that was easy . that's a regular area i do , at times there no sand just clay and when the sands back there's always a pouch full , one would call it a hot spot .

Nice finds there - I have found many lead weights like the bigger long ones that are pointed to a square end, but in the middle of inland fields! I wonder if they were used for catching birds, using weighed down netting. Would any of the lead weights be of further use to anglers? If so, you would get more money than from just scrapping them.
Well done anyhow, no shortage of clear loud signals I expect! Liam B-)

Hi Sandman I scan that beach too, its BIG Strange on our different finds, you get the weights I get the Bullets (Location Location)
Just one word of warning about the lead, I used to make my own lead weights for fishing useing old scrap and old fishing weights to make ones that I need. Lead will EXPLODE when heated if there is any moisture in the old lead. Best to dry it out first. Put it in a warm dry place for a bit then heat it with a cover.
