tide no 1
well as the title says
I managed to get out onto some marks we have been waiting to get onto on the big tides myself and geoff (eddiethefly) we went over them on the last sets of big tides me with my sovereign elite and Geoff with his ctx 3030 we pulled A few vicy coins from there but we knew there were loads still down there but a lot deeper so with the batteries fully charged in the headlamps and detectors we were on the beach by 630 pm Friday night Geoff had his ctx 3030 and I had my whites surf dual field pi I have been spending loads of time using the machine to get to know the settings and signals and been doing ok so off we go I took my evolution sand scoop and geoff opted for A spade got out there and onto the mark either end of the low spot around 200 yrds long I was hitting signals straight away but they were deep I was digging down x3 scoops through the sand then hitting stones and couldn't get the scoop through I was well pi- - - ed of every signal was the same after leaving about 10 good signals(45 mins) I made my way over to Geoff to se how he was doing and he was doing the same but he was struggling with using the spade as the wet sand was running in and the tide was starting to flood we both agreed it needed some rough weather to move some more sand off
tide no 2
change of beach to another mark that's only accessible on very big tides same weapons as the night before this mark is A new one for us both got down to the beach at 7pm same thing as last night split up to cover more area could not believe it got out to the spot and it was just A massive area of stones rocks around 50 yrd patches and scrap iron lied around everywhere stood there thinking
why didn't I bring my sovereign elite and spade but not to be outdone I was finding sand and clay patches and picking my signal to dig but was struggling to get through with the scoop stayed out there for x1 hr nothing but x2 leads and x2 brass nuts ring pulls and parts of cans but the tide pushed us of so I opted for A gully further up the beach and managed x6 fishing leads x2 fishing hooks A nokia mobile phone and the usual scrap so all was not wasted
