Blackpool beach

[Debs tms]

Hi Everyone
I have just registered on to your forum, I used to do loads of beach detecting years ago but due to circumstances beyond my control it died down, I purchaces the whites surf master 12 mths ago but havent used it seriously yet, Ive just mentioned to my partener that i'd like to go to Blackpool on Sunday ( he will use his minelab) Ive heard stuff about permits but cant find any info, can any one fill me in on the crack?
Had loads of rinbs badges and coins off Blackpool in the past and would really like to get back into it again,
Best find this year on land was gearge the 2nd half guinea in Malton York.

Hi Debs, never heard of permits being needed on Blackpool Beach. Just go for it and see what happens.
Happy Hunting, Mark

Hello Debs.
No problems with Blackpool at all.
I've been doing that stretch for years.
Might even see you down there over the weekend, (depends on the weather).
Found some good stuff on there myself.

Not too far from Liverpool, UK. The tide changes are breathtaking when compared to what we see here in the Sates.

Tower was still very prominent when I was there a few times about 12 to 13 years ago. My primary beach activity there and then was clam digging for the razor clams. Very good eating! Also watched the hovercraft taking people out from the beach over the water and along the waterfront. And of course enjoyed a few pints of bitters!
Cheers,

Here are some finds from the same era as the postcards from Goldnugget.

I have got over a hundred of the bullets.
And the badge needed no cleaning at all !!!

You need a permit from the Crown Estates, but good news it

Great post cards and finds,
I didnt make it this week end, but im still itching to get back there, used to go with my x partener, we had great finds off different areas of the beach one of the best areas being in front of the tower. Its still there and still very popular.
Lots of gold rings, usually Victorian, old coins, badges military and enamelled, sweetheart brooches and what we used to call fairground junk but still nice to find, this could be lead badges in the shape of the tower, sport theme items and animals. Also junk jewelry. Always a good day out there.

Thanks for the permit link will check it out.

You apply for the permit online, and it comes stright back online, then you just print it out.
The maps of the allowed areas are available as .pdf files in a box on the right of the main screen, which you can download and print out, but aren
