Metal Detecting

Hi all,

Not been on much lately, working or detecting

This is the result of the last two beach trips before cleaning.



While at the beach I noticed a low spot and found the small bits top left, a natural collection point

A gold butterfly ear ring, a silver hall marked .925 ear ring, old cuff link, silver bracelet, old nappie pins, back off a brass pocket watch, maybe an old hair pin? and other bits.
Rest of my finds were mainly within my hot spot area which I go over every time I go and always find more stuff.

I chucked some of my finds into my homemade tumbler.

This was an odd find.
Some spent cases that look like they were put back into a holder of some type?
They were entombed in some black crud, I didnt break it open as they would have fallen apart.





Thanks for looking

Fishy

Nice one..that lot kept you busy

Hello mate, the cartridges are in a charger clip, that used to fit in a couple of groves in a Lee Enfield rifle, you would press them down to charge the magazine, somebody has put the fired ones back in

Sure did, got to the point where I called it a day.
I was knackered

Hi mate,

Thanks for that

Like the shell cases

Cheers Dave,

To be honest they were hard work.

They give a cracking signal but take some bleeding digging up from the depths.

Nice finds Fishy. The 50cals and 20mms have cleaned up very well.

As for your Lee-Enfield charger clip, I to have found them filled with spent cases and always assume it is one of the soldiers messing about due to boredom and a lull in the 'practice'.

Here is a complete one for you to compare to yours

Some great finds there is the hair pin thingy a Jews Harp

The clip of five rounds may come up well with an acid dip Thats what we cleaned our airfield ammo mainly 50 cal , back in the school days , b;> over 30 years ago.

Thanks RRPG

Not a jews harp have few of those. Will get a better pic tomorrow.

Can anyone confirm what this might be?

Maybe an old hair pin? Seems a bit heavy duty?

Bump for the brass prong thing

Hi there, just wondering if that is a live .303 round I see amongst all those finds?
