Known to some already is last years find by one of our locals. He's been trolling the beaches round here for years and is nearly blind. His wife drops him off and picks him up most days (or did). He found a glory hole with 41 rings and some coins somewhere on Tenby beach. Must admit I didn't believe it at first till one or two told me who it was and assured me it was correct. I don't know if he's retired on the proceeds but I haven't seen him since. :o ;D ;D Val Title: Re: beach hoard Post by: Landyman on February 14, 2013, 11:14:28 PM Many years ago on Port Eynon beach in one small area of about 4 square metres found 130 pre decimal coins including hammered Charles 1st shilling.
