Few hours on the beach.

[PRS]

Had a few hours out on the beach, I don't do the beach often maybe I've done it 3 times since I've had the E-Trac? But I'm waiting for my fields to be cut at the moment and the little pasture that I have is bone dry at the moment. Anyhow I got an ultimate finds pouch from Phil and put it to the test today great bit of kit, enough room for a bottle of water, the garrett pointer has a nice little slot and more space than needed for finds which is better than filling up a small pouch and wishing it was bigger.

Had some ring pulls but not anywhere near as many as last time, £4.57 in spendable cash, a 1942 farthing, 1941 2 francs(oldest coin from the beach so far) and a 500 lira. I managed to find my first ring sadly it wasn't gold, nor was it silver but stainless it's not worth much about £7 new + post but still I'm happy with it. Must've been lost recently as I didn't need to dig saw a little glimmer and pulled a hand full of sand to find it Anyhow I'm going to try to put some more time into doing the beaches as I quite enjoyed today got me out in the sun for a few hours, had a few conversations with general public who seemed quite interested.

Here's the pics.

Cheers MetalMonkey, true it is easy digging haven't found anything older than 1941 yet not even an old penny yet though. Maybe some of the older stuff will crop up when I put the time in.

I was on the beach on Saturday just gone and found £2.76 a total of 19 coins also found a mouthorgan and a toy truck, around 40 bottle tops and ring pulls , it was my first time on the beach as i'm waiting for my farmer to pull his finger out and get his crops off my land but I thoroughly enjoyed it sunshine nice breeze had a great time. I've also just received my finds bag off Phil today looks good but won't be able to get out till the weekend now

Fair enough lol I should be going to the one in Swindon but it's full up now still it's about 130 miles should be a good day out though.

I did look at that one sounds good hope the guys find something nice there

Nice selection and looks like you had some good sport there mate.
I prefer inland but not sure why really as i always come away from the beach with 10x more than if i was inland. I guess its the part of me that is craving hammered coins and seal matrix's etc. If i could lose that wanting for hammered then i would do like some on here and concentrate solely on the beach.
