Tried my luck at an East coast beach, the storms havent removed the sand like in the South of England, they have added more!! but there are places where hardpack/mud is showing if you look hard enough. I tried one of these areas and found loads of lead fishing weights, a few modern spendables but no golden bling! I did manage a ring made from an early two shilling coin (silver) a 1918 half penny and a silver sixpence
plus the usual brass scrap (not shown)
The mud was evil in places, had I been wearing wellies they would still be in the mud now, it was that sticky! luckily I had my waders on, they didnt help when trying to remove the signal from the scoop though...

So far, total gold for this year.= zero...but not giving up yet
