Metal Detecting

Had a few hours on the local beach with the sov gt up on the dry sand not a lot of finds beach empty in the day time only the odd fisherman one guy caught two bass this is the finds the brass top looks to be from a old type petrol can has been there some time.

Ah but a few coins are always welcome. Bit of an odd place to find a crabbing line though. Can't imagine many of those being caught from a beach. Was on south milton sands (Thurlestone, Devon) yesterday and was told a few other md'ers had been on the beach the day before and cleaned up, with a few gold and diamond rings. I managed only decimal but £9.30 isn't too bad for a few hours.

Very windy today though so I guess that will change the beaches, just not sure which way its blowing in from. Knowing my luck it's just depositing more sand.

East wind here not good for us will stay home today.

Nice finds Oliver, pity there was no fish on the hand line,

Yes it had a hook but took it off some poor kid lots his crabline i find lots of them there the shop over the road sells them i should take them back to him he could resell them

Is that a posh doggie tag?
Had a sort out of my 'junk' box and I'm surprised by the number of tags I've found...nearly always come back with one or two

Yep dogy tag one of the beaches o go to lets dogs on so find a few this one has tiny stones set around it posh dog.

nice little haul of bits oliver,i found myself a blind dog dog tag the other day!hope the owner got home ok lol

Well Done

Maybe catch yer tea with the crabline, seeing the cost of chips these day's.

Nice bits there....can anyone tell me why the wind has anything to do with being on the beach, cos if i travel to maybo or skeggy some 40 odd miles its just pot luck if its windy or not, maybe thats why i dont find much....although the first and only time i went i found £2.00

If you have a onshore wind usually the sand will come off. A off shore wind will build the sand up and you have long-shore drift as well that moves the beach along here where i live in Devon there is no long-shore drift but on the south coast there is that's why there are groins on the beaches to stop the beach from moving these a good coin traps.Beach searching is a lot more hard than people think but when you suss your beach out it will give you the goodies good luck

Another nice haul there Oliver
