60+ Coins - Gold - Silver And Lots More Take A L@@K

Post by fishy »

Hi all,

Not been on much lately, working or detecting :D

This is the result of the last two beach trips before cleaning.

Image

While at the beach I noticed a low spot and found the small bits top left, a natural collection point ;)

A gold butterfly ear ring, a silver hall marked .925 ear ring, old cuff link, silver bracelet, old nappie pins, back off a brass pocket watch, maybe an old hair pin? and other bits.
Rest of my finds were mainly within my hot spot area which I go over every time I go and always find more stuff.

I chucked some of my finds into my homemade tumbler.

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This was an odd find.
Some spent cases that look like they were put back into a holder of some type?
They were entombed in some black crud, I didnt break it open as they would have fallen apart.

Thanks for looking

Hello mate, the cartridges are in a charger clip, that used to fit in a couple of groves in a Lee Enfield rifle, you would press them down to charge the magazine, somebody has put the fired ones back in :D :D :D ::g

Cheers Dave,

To be honest they were hard work.

They give a cracking signal but take some bleeding digging up from the depths.

Nice finds Fishy. The 50cals and 20mms have cleaned up very well.

As for your Lee-Enfield charger clip, I to have found them filled with spent cases and always assume it is one of the soldiers messing about due to boredom and a lull in the 'practice'.

Here is a complete one for you to compare to yours :)

Can anyone confirm what this might be?

Maybe an old hair pin? Seems a bit heavy duty?
