Ballbearings

[Dave The Slave]

Spent a couple of hours on Bournemouth beach this morning.Lots of bottle tops etc, just 7p spends. Cluster of 23 ballbearings 8mm diameter within 2 foot square area, depth about 2". Why ? No sign of anything else nearby, lots of sand movement in past week, could not have washed up or was it just some joker.

Yeah, Probably just some 'joker' .................but that has no bearing on the matter!
Hopefully there's better to be found. Cheers

Hi, i found a bag of small ball bearings on a beach i had no idea what it was or used for i later found out it was used as a diver's wieght, may be it could be the same..?
Here's a link to what i am on about, the bearings come in different sizes.

Hi Guys, thanks for the replies.;sweepstick 47 liked the joke .Belso good theory dispersal pattern makes sense, worrying only 200m from the pier. Lord Lovell, from a historical point of view would have been nice. Rattzzz hadn`t thought about this if they had been closer together would have gone for this one. At the moment thinking target practice.
