was a long time since i was there, it used to be council owned, but obviously sold off to local hotels or something, i did hear that Catherine zeta Jones bought a hotel down there too.

Oxwich has been good in the past the"Rare" club used to hold annual events there in the winter.
Many a bit of bling has surfaced there...in recent years i have only found ring pulls and modern coinage.
There is also a lot of metallic items related to boats way out on the sand/mud H.H. to all PaulB.

Oxwich beach and car park I do believe is part of the Penrice Estate so that you need permission to detect there.
The Crown Estate Permit is no good there,

I was on Oxwich beach detecting yesterday 4th September 2017 and found 20 fired ammunition cases. The cases appear to be 30-06 dated 1942 with the manufacturer D M stamped into the base. Also found a few bullet heads for said cases and a couple of what appear to be 9mm bullet heads.  All items were found using a CTX 3030 at a depth of around 4 - 8 inches and in remarkably nice preserved condition. Judging by the way they were grouped around and a couple of bounds apart, gave the impression of a little bit of F&M taking place from the extent of the tide being out back towards the dunes.
