Help with roker/seaburn please

Post by yellow »

Evening everyone... :D

Thinking of a change of detecting venue on Wednesday and thought of roker or seaburn for a change :-/

Couple of questions if anyone is familiar with these beaches

Are they fully tidal....just trying to judge arrive and leave times
Has anyone been down to either lately ? Just wondering what condition these are like with the influx of lots of sand ..

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm gonna try a lot more beach detecting this year,but my local ones such as seaton,are wiped out with feet of sand.
Thanks for looking

Ive been a few times in the past yellow but to be honest never found anything other than a few quid.
If you fancy a change though why not? (you never know). I was at seaton on sunday with the kids and couldnt recognise it wow! its buried deep.

Thanks everyone for the comments and Jeff for the pm's ::g

As most will appreciate,travelling to an unknown beach,especially with all this sand around at the minute is quite a gamble,so any information is very much welcomed.
The other factors also are high low tides and the fact that most low tides are around 2.45 pm so it's starting to fade light wise too....not a good combination to try a new beach with =))

Seaton Carew and surrounding beaches are well deep with fresh sand,the targets are very few and far between.also since a lot of defence works and new promenade have been going on,the full outlay of the beach as I know it has changed drastically, with any usual areas now extinct.
I feel it may take seaton a number of years to recover from the above,and we also need a bloody good storm to shift what sand has been put on as of late.

No idea where I'll end up,if anywhere on Wednesday now,but I've no doubt you will all find out in a post later in the day if I do get out anywhere..
One thing that has came to mind is also that if a particular beach is producing at this moment in time,are other detectorists willing to share the info...probably not,and to be honest I cant really blame you lol...it's almost like one of your fields are giving loads of hammereds,would you want a bunch of strangers ambling around.
Good luck if your out today

With all the bad weather and tidal surges down south I can imagine some nice stuff coming out. Think we need to set our sights further afield lol

Hi
I am a regular to seaburn, at the moment it's a no go. The sand is really high at present. Theres been loads washed up.

I counted the bricks on the raised promenade from the beach in the summer and you could see 6 bricks. these are roughly 1/2 a metre wide per brick. When I was down last Thursday you could see less than 2.

so I reckon the sand is two metres higher than the summer.

Does that make sense???


Start of February I reckon.


Cheers
Stephen
