Talacre the puzzler

[Resurgam]

                     I recently spent two mornings on the beach at Talacre and due to changing my search patterns, slowing down the Safari swing, and listening more closely to the tones I managed to winkle out a few coins from well worked areas of sand.

                     Having detected my second Victorian penny in five years, I got to wondering where have all the Victorian pennies gone?

                     I also managed an old buckle and am wondering if anyone can estimate it's age?

Hey Chris, anymore of this "coin finding" and you will soon have enough for your bus fare home !!...LOL
Seems like your getting the hang of R2 D2 ...!!
Low and slow seems to be paying off (literally)...... Great results .👍

Well done Chris. Nice haul for a couple of mornings work. Low and slow was always the way to go with the Safari.
The buckle looks to be Georgian. Nice find for the beach.

Hi Val,
            I was thinking possibly Georgian for the buckle. An other piece of buckle that I found the other year was also possibly Georgian as was a George III half penny that I found in the sands not too far away from the same area.

            I'm going to give the Safari an outing on pasture this coming Thursday and see if I can transfer my luck to the green stuff. Just a pity that I haven't got any Roman to go at!
