Mumbles

Post by Spaceddoggy »

Can anyone tell me a good beach to detect on in the mumbles/Gower? I'm not really interested in spendables but have more interest in artifacts.
Thanks

What artefacts are you hoping to find on the beach? Cheers Eric

Anything unusual or interesting . I was talking to a detectorist in oystermouth and he said that he'd found a bronze arrowhead around there

Swansea bay chuck up the odd bronze age and roman artifact, but certainly not the norm.
