Down the beach with the Sovereign

[Heatho]

They are bad, tried to buy anything with them yet? :lol:

But im gonna try

 

[Goldpick]

Probably a sign of the times with so few newer coins being deposited on the beaches, just old crusty ones left behind.

Still good for parking meter money I say :Y:

The latest ECL has certainly devestated a lot of the coast line
(Just look at those poor bastards at Wamberal )
Selfishly for us though , it provides an opportunity to find some older lost treasure.
The only problem for me (living away from the coast) is choosing where to go.
After recently watching one of Jacob (Digging Australia) videos showing some of the exposed tank traps on Stockton beach , that swayed my decision.
On arrival , i could see those exposed traps running almost continuously for at least a few kilometers up the beach ...WOW
thats the first time I have seen them , except for photos.
Ideally , i should have been there days earlier , but that work stuff kept me from it.
It wasnt long before the tatgets started popping... they were everywhere !
A shovel and seive would have been just as good , if not better layful:
Pretty soon Jacob and his mate Jeremy turned up , and after a quick hello we were all digging up goodies.
I really wanted to head north to just walk along side those historical tetrahedrons , but to do so i had to force myself to hold my detector in the air and walk away from such a productive spot :awful:
Here is some of my finds , minus a kilo or so of lead :8

That last find (torch with 5 rings) is a members badge for the Central Coast Leagues Club in Gosford. I used to have one when I was a member and they stopped doing them in the ‘80s when they switched to ID cards.
