Nuke em Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 This is my second hunt for this month , my first was on the 5th when i had £8.01p and the beach was mostly quiet for finds due to the depth of sand and stones on the beaches. Today i went for a 9am start and worked the tide out , its a very short tide and i didn't expect much though there was a bit of bad weather last week and on Friday i had a dodgy gut so couldn't make then and yesterday i was busy. I travelled a long way West which is what i have been doing for a while now and walking all the way back to the center of the City . As soon as i got there and saw the beach i thought something was different . It was good and then i saw holes , damn i thought i have missed it all . I know of 1 other detectorist that works that part of the beach and he uses a CTX . I took my Explorer 11 . I got started and within a few minutes i was hitting coins , he missed many ! So started what i call carpet bombing the beach as when i look back it looks like i have bombed the Hell out of it with hole marks all over the place. For the first quarter mile i was digging more crap that good targets but as i got nearer to my usual hot spots that changed and my targets were getting close to 90% good targets with coins every few feet at times . By the time i got to my main beaches i thought i was going to see the finds rate drop like it has for the last couple of months there but it didn't and in places i was finding more and with less than an hour left for me to search i found a Silver ring my third for the year and then the coins kept coming . Till i got to a new wooden groin that has been put in then it all went quiet , at the same time i saw a man with XP ADX 150 i think it was or something like that and i thought right its time for food and home . When i got to the top of that part of the beach i looked over the concrete groin and saw my mate Allan with his Fisher 1236 and chatted to him for a bit , i showed my finds to him and said he should go to the beaches i have searched and use his smaller coil to cane the beach further . There are lots of nails all over the place and it makes thing hard . After raiding a shop for some food and drink i got the Bus home . I finished the search at around 2.30pm . My total for today were the Silver ring , a large pre Decimal Penny and 2 pre Decimal Half Pennies , a 1 Euro , 2 other Foreign coins and £68.56p in spendable coinage including 23 old style £1 coins that aren't legal tender now but can be banked into my account . I am in 2 minds about tomorrow but i might get a call from my dealer about the Equinox and want to be ready to go and collect it so Wednesday might be my next day out . And that will be with the Explorer 11 as well . Till i have sussed the Equinox and settings i wont shove into the breach my dear friends . Both pictures of both searches for this month so far. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tnsharpshooter Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Thank for sharing Nuke em. Btw, I got the privilege of living in your lovely country back in 2001-2003. I was a dartaholic and English pool addict back then. This yank really put pressure on players over there. They couldn't figure out where I come from. They hadn't seen many yanks who could, throw darts and play pool like I did. Some great memories from my stay there. Two things I didn't like- driving on the wrong side of the road and your lovely VAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringmoney Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Nice haul Nuke, question for you, what are you doing with the old pond coins, is there a way of cashing them in. I use to love finding them over here in Ireland but now I don't know what to do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just give me them LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very dangerous practices you foreigners have . I would be all over the show trying to get round you all ! As for this Country . Its ........... and i dont mean by Brexit , by to many elitist scumbags out to make money off its back . If your a patriot here you are weird and racist . Sorry for the Politics but its true and the young have fallen for the con hook line and sinker . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
