When I was a kid I found a champagne cork with a silver cap and an embossed swastika on the top that was on st Ives harbour beach.
I lost it years ago but I would love to know if it was from the third reich.

[AaronP]

had a few gold over the yrs.

Flippin' heck! Save some for the rest of us mate! Very impressive.

I love beach detecting, sand's so easy to clean off and I still get a buzz from finding a 50p or £1 coin.

My best find is only an old, possibly silver ring with a few pink glass stones in it, looks pretty old, must post it on here soon to get an ID though I always get disappointed when I'm told its just modern steel But it is nice it was my first ever ring, still waiting on my first ever gold though, fingers crossed

The best beach find was this spanish gold florin, when i was only 14 yrs old. It was a holiday with grandfather, and we went to praa sands in cornwall for a day. 34 yrs ago in october and it was very quiet. I had a c scope bfo , found nothing then it was time to go home, so walking back to the car dragging the detector behind me, one more signal and there it was. We went to the museum with it and they said 16th century alfonso 5th, probably off a spanish wreck. I had it mounted and worn it ever since.

Could be fun to find out if there is ever found more coins like yours.. I mean Spanish Wreck.. COuld be loads to be found..Have you ever returned to the spot ?? Exciting..

Not been back since, Danzigman. I remember the beach must of had a big shift of sand, as there was an unusual sand bank, in the middle of the bay, and it was on top of the bank about 1cm under. Bodmin museum said it was the second one to be found in the country. So in early 80's i had it valued, and because it is slightly worn on fleur de lis side it is worth £500 . If it was in good nick all round it would of been worth £5000 . Perhaps i should go for a week in the winter, i remember it like yesterday. I suppose i need a permit now.
