Title: Trip to Aberavon today.
Post by: dragonsbreath(Paul) on January 08, 2012, 05:19:35 PM
Finally got out to do some tectin today me and my m8t Peter took a run down to Aberavon Beach.
Thought the storms might have shifted some sand but sadly not the case.
Eventually decided to start detecting on a slightly lower section of the beach behind the "apollo"
We had about 30+ coins several pre decimal the oldest a veil head joey.
Peter had a Silver ring with"china" stamped on it and i had a small "MIZPAH" Pendant and 2 rings
one was a small 9ct childs or ladies and the other was a "best friends" ring.
Weather was a balmy 12C. all in all a very pleasant day....
Was nice to get out..............PaulB. 8)
