                                Managed to get out for a few hours last Saturday and swung the Safari over the sands at Rhyl again. Despite the shortness of daylight hours and an unfavorable incoming tide I managed to find an interesting area that produced some bits of scrap and a dozen decimal and pre-decimal coins before the tide chased me off the beach. With a more favorable tide this coming Saturday, I may give it an other go with the Safari but fit a coil that is a wee bit larger than the Nel Snake coil that I used last Saturday. Not the Nel Big coil; I might add! Roll Eyes

Well done Chris, my dad when he was alive used to love detecting on the beaches along our North Wales Coast , he had many a gold ring from Rhyl beach, I haven't been on the beach detecting for years, I used to love going on Colwyn bay beach after a good storm ( before they put all the sand on there), it used to be always good for Viccie and Georgian silvers when the rocks near the pier were exposed, sadly that wont happen again anymore as they are buried under about 12ft of sand now.

                       Gave the same section of beach an other go today Chris. Still can't quite get this short daylight hours and tide times right yet but at least I covered a couple of sections of the area that I could get at. Plenty of WWII scrap in the area but it isn't as bad as Talacre. Loads of thick, smelly mud just below a thin crust of sand and most of the targets were deep in the wet.

                       Managed an Eddy penny and two pounds six pence in decimal coins. Unlike Talacre, I started recovering very old, heavy, lead projectiles. The first one had me puzzled; it looked for all the world like a lead mushroom.
