Hi folks,
Needed to get a detecting fix regularly but with the bush being so overgrown, an alternative “therapy“ was needed to fix the withdrawal symptoms. Decided a couple of weeks ago to start using my Equinox 800 on the beach. I’m new to this type of detecting so I will be asking for help from time to time with identification of some of the stuff that I unearth. Quickly found out that this is a lot of fun and is an easy way of spending a couple of hours. Love the learning curve in relation to reading beaches and am enjoying the hunt. I have been finding a bit of loose change and the odd older coin as well as plenty of sinkers. Anyway, here’s the result of yesterdays hunt. (Excluding rubbish)
A nice little spendable haul (forgot to add a few brown buggers) and a few sinkers. The lead is actually a real bonus as I can melt them down and make snapper sinkers which are becoming quite expensive. Ended up with a couple of brassy coloured washers with the number 375 stamped on the inside. Might be able to use them as spacers on my next building project. Would be nice if every day turned out like yesterday but previous hunts give a reality check. Hope to get out again in a few days to enjoy the beautiful autumn afternoons.
cheers

I am sure that someone thinks it's a good joke to throw them around for me to find. ** BUT!!! If you do detect around the beach areas up near the trees, beware that you might pick up used needles in the sand and surprisingly stuck in the trees! So I find myself doing a community service by disposing of these dangerous things that kids could find.
