Title: An hour and half on the beach tonight - 17th June 2011 Post by: Neil on June 16, 2011, 06:45:20 PM I headed to my local beach today after work having been inspired by "The Girls" finds and just now by "Goldie Looking Chain"! No gold for me but a few finds in amongst the multitude of bottle tops and ring pulls!
The first decentish find was halfpenny of George V dated 1928 and a few feet away a religious medallion to do with a childrens charity - which I really like. These came from the small area of the beach I always concentrate on, that normally rewards me with a pre decimal silver coin - alas it was not to be tonight as the tide was licking at my heels. My only other find of note was a trowel - that I was sure was going to have a detectorist attached to it! Time for a glass of wine.

You can buy a paper in the morning and find out if Cardiff have signed Malky Mackay! ;D Title: Re: An hour and half on the beach tonight - 17th June 2011 Post by: Neil on June 16, 2011, 06:58:07 PM Its a done deal Bob - I got mixed feelings about it! ::)

Title: Re: An hour and half on the beach tonight - 17th June 2011 Post by: rjm on June 16, 2011, 07:06:22 PM Its a done deal Bob - I got mixed feelings about it! ::) I'm just thankful we didn't get Shearer. I believe the board were insistent on trying to get Bellamy back and Shearer and Bellamy hate each other. Funny old World! I'd never heard of Mackay until it hit the news a good week ago that Cardiff were interested. He hasn't much experience so I don't know who(Lenny Lawrence?) advised the board to go for him! Personally I'd have employed Chris Hughton. He was available, wanted the job, and had the experience and stood up to bully boy Mike Ashley who fired him as he wanted his mate Alan Pardew who would do as he was told and work for a low wage and get a bonus for achievements. Many think we shpuld have kept Dave Jones but I heard he'd lost the dressing room and one or two players were refusing to ever play for him again. Like you, I've mixed feelings. I've got my season ticket so I've just got to stick it out !!! :'( Title: Re: An hour and half on the beach tonight - 17th June 2011 Post by: Roman (Ray) on June 16, 2011, 07:07:06 PM the medal was werth hour and half neil..i like it to mate..great find welldone !!

Did you have your Tardis with you though - it's not the 17th until tomorrow ;) Title: Re: An hour and half on the beach tonight - 17th June 2011 Post by: Meatslicer on June 17, 2011, 01:18:21 AM Found this in etsy religeous medals shop, but they just say its old, no details of actual age.
Its a membership medal for the childrens league of peace and goodwill, bit like the league of nations junior branch. Eric Title: Re: An hour and half on the beach tonight - 17th June 2011 Post by: Neil on June 17, 2011, 07:20:49 AM Well Done Eric - thats spot on.
