Hi everybody.
Is anyone aware of any permission issues with detecting Waxham beach in Norfolk ?, I’m aware it’s crown estate however have no idea if there are any additional issues to be aware of.
Thanks in advance

Hi Junior.....mate i’m SO sorry for not replying ! For some reason I did not see you had followed up with another post.
Anyway, long & the short of it is.....well....um.....I could probably build an exact replica of a shipwreck with the scrap that came up, not a lot else really mate.
As you said mate, not a lot down there.....that’s been found yet ;)
Will be back there soon, give you an update if anything occurs ::g

I think beach detecting is great if you are local or if you are there anyway on holiday. But for me living atleast an hour and a half’s drive away from the coast it can work out quit expensive in fuel for the reality of finding enough change to buy a cup of coffee.
Not to say I have not enjoyed the sights, sounds and the smells of a morning at the seaside when I have gone.

But Despite all the organised inland digs I go to are of a similar distance away and then have the added expense of £15 entrance fee on top of the price of fuel, I enjoy them more due to the anticipation that I might find a small piece of history.

I'm going to Waxham next weekend with the family. Naturally i'll be on the beach with my Makro Racer 2 cleaning all the debris, rusty crap & ringpulls for the rest of the general public :D `

Let us know if you get anything mate, might bump into one another one time when we're down there.
