Title: There's gold in them Welsh........... beaches ! Post by: Debbie on March 19, 2011, 03:54:25 PM The sky was blue, the sun was shining and the waves were gently lapping. Armed with our trusty tools of the trade, we ventured forth onto golden sands. We were on the beach just after 10.30am, and another detectorist was already following the tide out.
Tyna and I worked the tide line in the opposite direction. Aver about 3 hours, all I had to show was a couple of lead weights. I met up with Sandpiper further down the beach - he had a stunning Victorian half crown dated 1890. I wandered over to see what Tyna had found - and she had not one, but TWO gold rings :o. Great result :D In the distance, I saw Falcon's Dad - he had a little gold ring also. A beautiful day, lovely finds, and our 15 minute journey home took newly an hour and a half :-\ Photos to follow shortly. Debbie Title: Re: There's gold in them Welsh........... beaches ! Post by: Debbie on March 19, 2011, 04:31:05 PM One 9ct, weighing 2gms and what looks like 22ct weighing 3.2 gms. The hallmark is worn, but the colour is a lovely "buttery" gold.

Title: Re: There's gold in them Welsh........... beaches ! Post by: Debbie on March 19, 2011, 07:05:54 PM Nice finds, well done. Does the second ring have something engraved inside the band? It looks like a name, but it too is worn along with the assay. Neil - Sandpiper had a Vicky half penny I think along with his half crown. Tyna had a decimal 10p and I had no coins at all :'( Title: Re: There's gold in them Welsh........... beaches ! Post by: Val Beechey on March 19, 2011, 07:19:01 PM Well done Girls. Giving the boys a run for their money, keep it up.

(Left the iron behind) Tyna, tried my 1st ploughed field yesterday, I wasn't impressed but came home with 50p ;D Val Title: Re: There's gold in them Welsh........... beaches !

Yes I do beaches. I just don't find anything. ::) My fault I think, the signals are multiple and Iget confused. In other words I don't know what I'm doing. :'( Sand is what I'd call 'lumpy' at mo. loads in some places but not too bad in others. Looked at Wisemans Bridge yesterday, with dogs. Lots of sand at topof beach but lots of shingle stretches washed in lower down. Looked as if it could be productive. Val Title: Re: There's gold in them Welsh........... beaches !
