My Beach Finds For 09-01-18 Gold Too

[Nuke em]

This morning i woke up at the usual time of 5am and got my gear together , this time i used my Explorer 11 and the Pro coil . I got to the beach at around 7am and it was still dark .

I looked at the usual beaches and saw that the beaches had started to build up , i was working for the last few days and i have heard that it wasn't bad during that time because of bad weather . But now it was looking poor . So i walked to a few beaches further along and found that the beaches were looking good . Normally i wouldn't search here due to my normal beaches being very productive . So i got started and i started to find coinage in small pockets or scuffed out areas next to groins . I was thinking it would be really nice to find a ring along here as i have only found 1 Gold ring this far along and that was in 2014 for a person who had lost it and asked me to look for it . I found that with my Terra 705 in less that 5 minutes after it had been lost for most of the day and gone through a hide tide.

I found that as i was going along that coinage was being found in a long line and then i came up against a target that read on my Explorer 11 ??? (on the ET it reads 12   21) and i dug it thinking 20p piece . By the time i had scooped out 6 inches of sand and shingle from the hole i saw a ring . I had my magnifying glass with me so checked it out and i saw 916 which i know to be 22k . That got me all fired up but i couldn't find any more rings . I did find more coinage and by the end at around 12 midday i had £30.80p and a decimal old Half Penny and the what i now know to be 6.2 g 22 k Gold ring .In amongst the coinage is a lot of the older Pound coins which are not legal tender but can be taken to the bank and paid into an account.

I will be out again but not sure when , tides are short and i might have a lack of time till next week.

Not for long i bet.

Though coinage might be different ? I get around 2k each year on average.

Going to go back on Sunday morning and work the tide out. Looks like my usual beaches are to built up to be bothered with. I will check on the day but won't waste time. I know what I need to see and that hasn't happened for over 2 years now.

Awesome find, you're ahead now.

The beach looks worse than i thought where i normally go , i drive past doing my job all day . I will start where i left off last time , there's about a mile of beach from there . Only trouble is that it is normally quieter . I hope my main beach has opened up a bit.

That's a great ring! 22k is awesome. Gold in the scoop is the pinnacle for the beach hunter. Way to start off the year!
