Title: Barry
Post by: celticspikey on February 17, 2014, 08:37:50 PM
My self and keepmeteethinthejar...went back to Barry today :) straight away we could see that the sand had pushed back up to the top of the beach :(stones that was uncovered a couple of days ago was now gone :( and we reckon that in places 2 foot of sand had built back up. We felt sure that there would still be a fair few stragglers (coins) at least to be had and whilst we had nothing like the amount we had on our previous visits we done quite well, although I feel that this storm has done its job, ::) and the beach will now revert back to how it was :( it was fun while it latest though ::) ::) Oh I for got to mention I did blagg this small Victorian child's ring not far from me mate and he was most pleased I had it :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ interestingly it is hall marked 916. (22ct) anchor mark for Birmingham and makers HJ. It weighs 2.2 grams. farewell for now Barry......we will return on the easterly's.......if we get any ;) ;) ;) ;)

Well done Paul, its still a good show of finds you made, and to top it off a little bling not bad ;) its unbelievable how the beach changes in a few days, just dumping ft of new sand on the beach.

Well done again Paul. Remember size isn't everything and good things come in small packages. ;D

I agree with you about the sand coming back. I had a go at Saundersfoot yesterday and was surprised how much had returned in a couple of days.  Also very surprised at the lack of finds but it's all in the game.

That's the problem with the beaches mate you got to wait till tides and Mother Nature help.  ;)

Trouble is the westerly winds shifted the sand and now the southerlys  are pushing it back on ;) for now I think the beaches are reclaiming the finds we all left behind ??? Back to the fields soon I feel.

Ah, I knew I should have come down to Barry on Sunday! :) My boy was desperate to go detecting on the beach, but because we left so late, ended up on the farm I go to (near Barry). Nice day for it too :)

Ah what a shame, it was a nice day, still hope you had a few bits inland. I called in on Barry on the way back from Abaravon beach today, the sand is really pushing back on now :o roll on more storms ;) ::)
