                  Well, just spent an other scrappy day on the sands at Talacre. The weather was fantastic and the company was good but I'm afraid the finds were not so hot. A high tide and wet sand slowed the EuroAce down a little but hopefully, with a little better planning, our next visit will be more lucrative

                  My total for the day was 48 pieces of shrapnel, three projectiles, two small pieces of lead, one pull tab, one small plug pin, one old copper penny, one pound decimal, and a 1953 sixpence. Oh, and several bottle caps! Roll Eyes

When bullets are around
There's gold to be found

Shame not on this occasion  Cry

Do the ring tabs disappear into a black hole when the bling is plentiful?   Roll Eyes

                                       Still keep turning up coins, both old and modern, and last month recovered a gold signet ring in the same area where most of the bullets turn up. Getting past those WWII sentinels is real hard work but I believe that there are still plenty of goodies to be found; if only one can keep ones enthusiasm fired up!

                                       The ring came up on the EuroAce with exactly the same signal as a piece of shrapnel and later on a small tube of ointment did ditto!

                           Despite the ring having been in the sands for many years; Richie Sixpence and I must have walked over it, and missed it, more than a dozen times. I don't think that the ring is of any great monetary value but I am presently working on trying to get it back to the original owner or their family.  Smiley

Wow nice find there. Let us know how you get along with finding the ring's previous owners.  Smiley
Really getting inspired trying beach detecting now, just not sure the safari will be the right machine. Love messing around in the wash up after a good storm and found several messages in a bottle.

Hi Svaipa,
                  I bumped into a guy at Presthaven Sands last month and he was using a Safari and ( unlike my EuroAce ) he was having no problems detecting on the wet sands. If I turn down the sensitivity on the EuroAce I can work wet sand but suffer a loss of depth.

                 Ah ha! I am working on a little plot, that may help me find the original owner and am awaiting replies to two emails that I recently posted.
