Title: cardigan bay beaches 3 day stint Post by: sellos on February 22, 2011, 11:12:43 AM spent 3 days detecting between aberystwth and fairbourne with an etrac averaging 7 hours per day,got £12.46 in current money,one shilling 1966,one shilling 1955,two old pennies, one 1976 50p,and one silver earing,struggled to find any hard pack on all the beaches,i think to do these beaches successfully you need to be there after a serious storm,i have been detecting since the end of august and still have yet to find any gold,getting a bit dejected but reading dancing with wolves report stating he didnt find any gold for the first 8 months of detecting has gave me new hope,

good luck ,mike |
