Title: beach finds Post by: adt69 on April 19, 2014, 10:44:25 AM Hi all
These are the best finds I had from Thursday morning, the sand is very high on the beach at the moment so back to fields again I think.

Good finds there Al. and in good condition as well off the beach. You found more silver in one trip than I did all year. That little one, like Chantals, does look like a Hammie.

We have a friend who told us that many years ago a friend of his used to find loads of buckles and coins in one area of beach down Swansea way. They were told it used to be where the small boats would settle at low tide to unload and the sailors would jump off, loosing buckles and coins in the process.
Spose it's in the Marina now ??? Val |
