Big storms = easy pickings

Well here in the UK we are having some serious storms, 15ft waves with a 10 metre tide, 70 Mph onshore winds and super low pressure. The sea has been destroying the coast where I live. The only good thing is that the sea keeps removing all the sand from the beach, and now it is down to clay in lots of places. I went detecting lat night at 10pm till 1am and I found loads of stuff. I found lots of it just stuck in the clay on the surface, lots of sinkers, but I also found some big old bullets and a lead hare! Who would give lead jewellery? I guess it could be quite old? Anyway, I'm going back down tonight, but the weird thing is although I'm finding coins and sinkers I haven't found a single ring. Fingers crossed for tonight....
 
Man! that could be a once in a lifetime hunt.:surprised:.blown right down to the hardpack! ...surely there has to be some jewelry? Or a different place where people swam and sunbathed instead of fished on that stretch of beach? Is there a different place nearby that got the traffic of the swimmers instead of the fishers that is blown out like that? May hold the fortune in Gold! It looks like the finds tell us that area was where the poor fishermen go...still, that many sinkers and coins on the hardpack, one would think theres gotta be a pony in there somewhere! Get it WW! WOW! :drool:
Mud:clapping::beers:
 
Yeah mud I'm going back down tonight as soon as the tide is out enough. I can't figure it out, there must be loads of gold somewhere, the sinkers were in a couple of areas and the coins in another area, wonder where the gold area is? I'll let you know if I hit it later mate.....
 
Cool! It takes a while to sometimes figure out a place, looks like you are well on it! :thumbup: Good Luck!
Mud
 
like mudpuppy said, find a definite swimmers beach and see if conditions are the same! if you are hunting a swimmers beach where you found all the sinkers, hunt a little higher on that beach or a little lower or a little deeper in and around those sinkers.

keep posting pics of your finds and maybe a few in-situ targets sticking out of the clay!! good luck.

Hi Dancer,
Some of the coins are from the 1920's , another guy found a half crown From 1646! Last night I found more coins again, but not so old :(
 
Hi ww,i'm from England as well and like the other posters I am amazed that no jewelry has come up.I've hit a local beach twice,once for three hours and once for four hours and in that time i've had four rings.All mine have come up from close to the low water line where there seems to be little sand loss......the large waves have probably done a good job of churning up the rings from previously unreachable depths.I do not have an answer to why there is none in the hardpack on the beach you are hunting......if there are sinkers there is usually jewelry.
 
Go find that bling laden area!!
