Saturday's beach session

Post by Tomo »

Had a few hours this afternoon and bumped into a quite few Tectorist's on the beach inc evee, nice to meet you by the way, very nice lass.
Anyway plenty of munitions popping up inc more musket balls. A little Cornish pixie (I think) which I checked for hallmarks as it came out that clean and shiny but only brass. A silver coin that was encrusted in concretion that gave an iron signal, even out the hole and in my hand? Will have to retest it now its been cleaned (unless its got an iron core)

Wow nice little haul there mate :). Great to meet you at last - and the 4 other guys that were enjoying being sand blasted along with me! I found a fair bit of clad, which paid for the chips on the way home lol. The fella down at the rocks found a fab medal from 1902 - awarded to the mayor of Hartlepool. Really lovely thing.

Until the next time ....

Hi Tomo

I think your little pixie is actually the Lincoln imp.

Cheers, Simon.

Not very old Dave. 1981. Funny thing is I retested it on the ctx and it growls iron. Must have an iron core?

Quite possible Tomo, seems that most coins are going that way, always intrigues me though with foreign coins turning up a long way from home
