 I went to Porthcawl Beach for a change last night were i met the Doc, the new Boy detecting with his daughter, i stopped and had a chat with him and his family and introduced him to the detectingwales.com, he came on last night and joined up with us,
 
there's a lot of sand gone from that beach,  a lot of the coins i was finding were older ones, but amoungst all the rubbish and rusted wire and nails i managed to winkle out £19. 1 pence in cash,  and some more earings,    I was told that there was someone else there the night before  detecting too which would explain the blank spots.

nice fines alan i must go to the beach sum time? :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

nice one alan your becoming a proper beachcomber. ;D

 cheer's boys,  i was loving it lol ,  but this weather change has put the blocks on it for now,  back to the land for now,

Well done Al,  :)

Nice finds Alan mate..... gutted I had to leave so early but the kids where throwing sand in each others faces which is not very good at all lol... yeah alot of rubbish on porthcawl beach sparklers from bonfire night mostly... I had a go at Abaravon beach last week. After going up and down the beach for around half a mile or so i found 1 ring pull !!! Thats one clean beach mate..... Would have been better though if I had gone down later in the day though and gone along the top part.

very nice finds alan. are they real diamonds,

HI Stu,  the one on the right is nice, but i doubt it though,  i'm not an expert on these things either mind,, but it has a NEXT stamped on the silver Stu,

not diamonds to milky diamonds are always brighter  but nice finds there mate small and hard to pick out great detecting nowonder you find the axeheads lol that beach would be great if you could get down to the bare bones base layer in places with say8inches on the top.there would be some real nice stuff going right back

well there have been some nice finds from Aberavon beach in the past Doc, and some nice rings,  try again if you get a chance after or though miners fortinight mate,
 if we meet again i'll try and hmm / help you with a couple of  hints & things for finding .

 Yeah,  your so right too Richy,  their down there mate,
it happened a couple of years ago at Barry,  silver coins everywhere,  a couple of foot of sand had gone off there,  i was getting 6 signals per sweep mate, mostly silver coins,    my mate at the time made me stop,  we were in his car, he said come with me now or walk home, ????     so i had to bliddy well leave the rest,  bliddy hell,  yeah, the same ex mate,  thats what he was like.

HI ALAN. NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU. GOOD AMOUNT. YOU MUST BE RICH BY NOW ;D

 HI There Bob.  nice to see you on here,  hope your keeping well.

HI Richard,  now the Love Doc  said he  couldn't find anything on Aberavon  Beach either,  thats strange,  it must have been well and truly cleaned up then.  alsorts from everywhere been there i expect.
