Check the map on the Crown Estate pages - most of them cover large areas so it is quite easy to get a straight yes/no http://www.thecrownestate.co.uk/coastal ... detecting/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (the same site you got your permit from)

If you need a little more info send the Crown Estate an email - I have always found them to be very helpful and have sent through more detailed maps every time I have asked - and that's a few now as I am in Scotland and only England/Wales are on their site

Looks purple all the way to the mouth of the river to the east of Abergele

Porth Madog also looks very purple - including a long way up the river

Hi Lawrence you are ok on the beaches at Abergele but don't expect to find much of value usually modern coins and fishing weights, I go along where the sand joins the pebbles you will get plenty of signals so ideal to learn your machine and you might just get lucky.A friend of mine has a caravan at black rock sands the beach is vast, best to try at top where people have been sitting be prepared to dig dozens of ring pulls .There is a small beach at Borth-y-Guest on way to Black Rock you bear to left at right hand bend on way to B R there is a sandy area below a wall where everyone sits ,not been there with detector but it looks good.

It's Black Rock Sands where I am heading first not expecting anything but just want to see how I get on. Thanks

Talacre beach is a good beach to practice on as use to be used in ww2 for target pratice. The dunes are out of bound.

I'm uesing a Lobo I knoe it's no good for the beach so will have to stick to the dry areas. but looking to get a new one soon which I will need advise on which to buy

Tesoro Lobo Is very good on very small objects so you should be able to find jewellery on the beach.
