Well done Mike, its good to be able to have a machine where you can jump from land to beach ;)

well found!

We'll done Mike, nice result that ;)

nice haul mike ;)

Here's my Aberavon finds after the storm

That's good going - both of you.

Definitely tempted to get some beach detecting done, but still not entirely sure about how to spot the black sand (i know what it looks like) / know that the beach has shifted.

The black sand is like sand but black and you can't miss it lol, as I found out to my cost yesterday.
I went to Porthcawl Yesterday morning and met up with our resident gold digger Badger.
All I found after was a 20p piece, I think Mikey did a little bit better. After about 3 hours of detecting, being absolutely soaked through to my underpantsand having sand in places it was never meant to go, I remembered why I absolutely loathe beach detecting in the rain on wet sand, I couldn't find any dry sand. When I left him Mikey was heading for his dinner and was up for round 2. Very dedicated man our Badger and deserves everything that he finds. I'll probably
do it again though ;D ;D

Nice to see some bits coming of the beach at Abaravon at last, not been that good of late :(for me at least, well done db4 ;) ;) ;)

aberavon is a cruel temptress >:( she teases me with gold then just throws fishing weights at me ,then a little bit of silver then next time maybe 3 st christophers ,then 3 goldies then just fishing weights for a month.then loads of old pre decimal pennies.
 she is so cruel but keeps tempting me back with memories of 14 rings in 3 days,a charles first sixpence ( my first beach hammy) and two cart wheel pennies and two sovereigns (one with a pendant mount ) she is good too me then evil and will probably be the death of me ,aberavon i love you and hate you you cruel bitch

Nice selection of finds. Good going. Lovely jubbly

Took another 125 coins from Aberavon today, many of which were pre decimal. That brings my total coinage for 4 trips to Aber to around 400  8) Nice to see the old money giving itself up for a change. Also came away with a couple of sub standard rings, must have come out of a cracker  ::)
Don't think the yellow stuff wants to show itself yet  :-\  

its close jeff keep hittin it .its there brother ;) ill come down tomoz and show you how its done old timer lol or you can show me lol
 my mojo broken >:(

I may have a spare Mojo in the van Mike, Bring it with me tomoz  :D 8)

awsome dude might hit newgale,all sand gone ,hasnt happened since 1990

Cant remember exactly what year, but I know all the sand went from Newgale about 1997 or 98. I remember going down there and detecting around the petrified forrest that had been uncovered. It was on the local TV news and in papers at the time.
