Not a beach detectorist but it looks like there should be some exciting nooks and crannies exposed that might prove interesting? Good luck to anyone doing that stretch, Liam ::g

Had a similar prob last week Trojan, by the time I arrived at the beach, someone had
been there already, unfilled holes everywhere ;;z , felt obliged to fill them in as I passed them,
in case people thought they where mine .

for saturday
low tide 07:18 at 2 meters
low tide 20:23 at 1.90 meters

ill pop down about 6pm, and detect it out for a few i think, im gold panning down that way in the day time anyway. so worth a look, even with the height of the low tide
hi trojan, nice to know theres another gold panner on the site. i wonder if theres many more. cheers charlie.
