any ideas on that old ring peeps ,it seems a bit primative the way it clasps the stone.there is a hallmark but its too worn to make out.you can make out either a number 12 or 13 but thats it. :)

Never feel jealous of someone who puts the hours in dkcrooby, you can win if you persevere.

Mike. -  well done,  seems to me you must be in the Victorian level or just after  ???

Keep at it there will be more to come after these winds we've been having.

Beaches were very popular in Victorian times.  Looking forward to going to Oxwich tomorrow - weather permitting    ::)

Mrs Badger - Mike is doing his best and I wish you both all the luck in the world.  I do hope that he comes home with more goodies for you both and that you both see better times in the future. 

I like seeing gold come up too,  it's a great feeling as it's as good as the day it was lost well usually anyway.   

I suppose after so many years in this hobby that I've become complacent and love to hear of the younger enthusiasts success.

What about you?  What about getting a detector and joining us all.  ???

Well, I take my hat off to him, Mrs Mike.
I took dogs to beach this morning to see what it's like. It's a good job I'm not a brass monkey. Anyone who spends as much time swinging as Mike does deserves to find the goodies.

Anyone who's inerested,  the sands have moved.

Well done Mike.

Val

Hi Dancing with Badgers

Your a confirmed beach detectorist, wild and free- a trip to the beach is like being on holiday. ;D
 I wish I had half your energy  ;) but be careful when your out alone especially in the dark because there will be no one around to help you if anything happens- I almost knocked myself out once with my own  shovel :o  - the beach doesn't take prisoners - keep your phone  very handy- I think you should change your name to dancing with dolphins  ;D
happy hunting

I went down to the beach today, if you lasted more than an hour or so your a better man than me. When your hands turn blue its a sign to go home I think.

i dont know about being a better man than you but i am determined to use the conditions to my advantage.lasted 3 hrs today and i was so tired that i forgot my gloves this morning lol just had to grin and bear it. i must have been to beaches about 30 times before started understanding how the sands shift and whats the best time to go detecting.learning a bit more everytime i go out.one day i might know what i'm doing lol.getting better though :)
