Detected there a few weeks back, didnt have any luck apart from a few modern coins, anyone been here?. It looked as if it wasnt a very popular beach plus it was full of pebbles. Thinking of folkstone next, may have better luck there or deal.

If possible you could try the strip of land that once formed the boundary of the Isle of Thanet? Got to be plenty of finds along there.(He suggests hopefully?) 
Will I? Won't I? What kind of silly question is that?

Yes, of course, any farmland need permission beforehand, and this goes without saying really. As we all know, all land belongs to someone and it is becoming harder to find permission to detect these days. I was looking at the Thanet area on Google Earth last night and most of what was a tract of water at one time, it's now fields of produce of one kind or another. If you really want beaches, then there's a wide choice of them owned by the Crown Estates. These can be detected by applying for a licence from the CE office which is online. There's a link to this on the forum under Beach detecting, if my memory serves me correctly. Good luck whichever choice you make.
