First time beach detecting

[stargazer]

Went to Blackpool with my 'better half' today, Sunday, to have a go at beach detecting.

Ooops, picked the wrong day !

Firstly, the day started off raining heavily when we were down the South shore near Starr gate.

So we moved further up along the prom.

What a mistake !

It was the day of the Blackpool airshow and over 60,000+ folk were tramping all over the areas between the Central and North piers plus the security and fireworks.

So it was no digging for me at the beach.

Most of the folk were on the concrete areas so finds tomorrow will be few I am afraid.


Back to the land I am afraid.

Someone reported on this forum a Edward VII gold sovereign found near the south pier last week.

MMMMM, Didnt read that one, i seen someone on there last year, near the butlins end with a Gold medal he found a Good way out from the Dunes,
used to go regular, me & a mate & the missus when she started last year, but its got really noisy, as if its been seeded with small iron.
ive had a decent share of Gold & coinage from there, used it towards getting the Missus an Etrac & she loves it..
Never really been up between the piers, because of the New wall they built really.
