Metal Detecting

Dawn and myself are heading up to the Humber tomorrow and wondered if anyone fancied a meet up.
We are novices so be gentle
Will be there at about 8:30 ish.

With the finds I've seen recently I'd love too but it's just a lot too far for me to go. Good luck though

Hi John. The tide will still be very high at 8.30. Ebbs very quickly, but foreshore takes a while to dry out. Best to aim to get there about two hours before Low tide .. 11-12 ish should give you lots of digging time. Low tide is Twoish.

Not sure whether im on the foreshore or doing beach detecting, not been to brid for while so make give there a shot. May change my mind though after getting the Hammy.

Best of Luck,

Brian

Thanks Brian
Is there any places to detect whilst the tide is still high?
Best regards
john and Dawn

John, just under the Humber Bridge are loads of Coin. Mainly decimal but some older stuff too, U need to search further down for the really old stuff.
Regards,
Brian

I live in Grimsby and had day out detecting under the humberbridge got some old Victorianpennys a small badge and lots modern coins dint get owt really old but don't think I detected in the right places tbh think I should been more down the north end

Wish I could go but can't, it's just too far... Good luck, post your finds!

Give Brid a miss Brian, still far to much sand, Most of us locals have been going further North, Filey or Scarborough. stick with the Humber

Weather permitted I will be coming for a days detecting with a friend under the bridge on this coming Wednesday:-)
