So I decided to sneak a quick hour down at Penally beach yesterday, then ended up staying for 5. Time does fly. For the first hour or so all I had to show for my effort was a couple of brass bullet cases from the wet sand. So I decided to move up onto the dry sand to try my luck there, then I started to find some coins. The best was a florin dated 1967 from a foot down, then I had a very iffy signal (sounded like iron) but I decided to dig anyway and out came a 5p coin, again from about a foot down. So I am happy that my Cscope 990xd is reaching down into the ground fairly well. Then I had a large high pitched screaming signal and I though Oh! must be a coke can. so I gave the sand a quick scrape with my size 8 beetle crushers to reveal the corner of a cigarette packet and was feeling disappointed to say the least. Then I remembered that some people put money or even jewellery in fag packets before they go swimming, so with my mind filled with thought of treasure and riches I give the sand another scrape with my boot and out popped an unopened packet of 20 smokes. Fortunately I gave up smoking a long time ago.

Well done John,you certainly are getting into the "swing"of things (pardon the pun!!)
Also,you detector certainly gets you digging to some good depths !!..and getting some finds..mind you..by that time I'd be "faggin" 🚬 for breath !!..lol😁
Good write up too ,good hunting, and see ya Friday..👍

Thanks Chris and to think I used to be addicted to cigarettes, now I think I'm getting addicted to detecting. looking forward to Friday C Ya.

Well done John. I used to find that beach difficult. Never found much there.
Shame to admit that the fags are worth more than coins  :P

that packet of smokes is probably the most valuable find Iv ever had Val. think I will put them up for auction on e-bay.
