Title: Anyone detected Looe's beaches? Post by: Neil on May 17, 2013, 07:31:27 AM Morning all
I am visiting Looe in Cornwall in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone had any 'detecting recommendations' for its beaches. Cheers Neil Title: Re: Anyone detected Looe's beaches? Post by: nobby on May 17, 2013, 07:50:44 AM Don't know, but they do lovely cod 'n' chips there ;)

It's really nice,so nice in fact,that the missus spent ages checking out the local estate agent windows... ::) We sat on the town beach for a while.As I sat there I thought it must be full of stuff as it gets very busy in the middle of the season. Looking on Google,you can see there is a bit of a beach opposite St Georges island. Timeteam found Roman there[on the island],which is rare for Cornwall,it was popular with pilgrims I believe.They also found evidence of a chapel on the mainland opposite. I doubt you'll be lucky enough to find any of that,but as I say,there must be plenty of bling under the town beach ;D We've had some good gales earlier this week,so you never know,it might have moved the sand about a bit. Looe is a fair way away from me,so I don't really know about the surrounding beaches mate,but if you come through Hayle(about an hour and a quarter further down)you will be welcome to pop in for a cup of tea or a pint if you prefer. Good luck mate and enjoy yourselves 8) |
