Hi JM,  I spent most of yesterday down at Talacre on the dunes cleanup, and removed some 25Kg of broken glass and bottles from the sands. Initially I had intended taking my CS4PI down with me and doing some detecting on the beach later, but decided not to. Didn't need the detector; I turned up loads of stuff on the beach by site only.  Cheesy

Bumped into an RNLI manager by one of the Narcon Pillboxes and had a long chat about running an MD rally at Talacre and he has given me a contact at Pool Dorset.

                                      Will keep you posted on any progress.

Hi JM; read my lips...................I do not detect in the dunes; only on the beach. The work that I do in the dunes is supervised by the Keep Wales Tidy Team, or the Flintshire Coastal Rangers.

Hi JM. As I understand it; one reason is to protect the habitat of the toads there. Darn toads make an awfull mess on the bottoms of yer boots!    Roll Eyes
Do you know of any special reasons; other than the toads?

Hi Chris
Sand dunes, by their very nature, are fragile. The grasses that grow on them can easily be disturbed and thats the only thing that holds them together. Just walking over them can disturb the roots. Apart from the grasses, which only grow there, other plants, insects and small animals make a home there and nowhere else.
One thing that confuses me is why they say they are protected and Holiday Makers climb all over them with no regard and no control. If you're seen detecting there by a warden you'll be told off, or worse. Fair or what ??

Hi Val, John; that all sounds about right but there are other mysteries to do with Talacre.  Put Viking Burial Ship and Talacre into your search engine and see what you come up with; I have chased that one for a while!  Also the high tide line and the foot of the dunes were protected by a barbed wire entanglement and mine fields during WW2!

There are thousands and thousands of 303 projectiles both in the dunes and on the beach. Each projectile contains a mixture of lead and antimony to give it more clout. Mmmmm, lead!, isn't that an environmental problem; the darn stuff is toxic.
