On Thursday morning i got up for work at 5am for 7am start, during the day i decided to hit the beach later after work. When i had finished work at 6pm i got home had a shower and the other 2 es'sgot my stuff and a load of drink and got the bus to the beach. I got there at 8pm , i got on to the beach , there were quite a few bonfires and barbiques going on and lots of people on the beach as well but no other detectorists so i got stuck in and started to find more coinage that people seem to find easy to lose. By midnight i had £35.10p and i had already decided to do the entire night without sleep , after the odd quiet spell my total crept up all night and by 7am i had beaten my high score , by 8.28am i had £103.56p in coinage , a silver ring, a ring with 750 18k in it but is a fake bronze signet ring , 4 pier tokens and a few other mainly foreign coins.
At about 4am i started to see other detectorists searching but i think i might have spoilt their broth a bit i think ? sorry , well maybe not
When i finished i went to a supermarket and bought some food and more drink, stuffed my face and got the bus home. I was bloody knackered so have been to busy to put this lot up till now.
I will be out again soon , must get to the target i have set myself so i can donate a good amount to the chosen good causes i have chosen. Hope to beat my last years total by the end of August, actually maybe a lot earlier.
Wood like to do a club dig but my digs are a lot more productive for me although someone found a Stater today but i was working so that was never going to be mine . my beach total for the year is as below , my land total is 0 , which if i black this year will be the first since 2002 when i started detecting.
I dont think i care any more.
The X.Terra 705 or maybe all Terra's are bloody brilliant and i want the upgrade when it comes.
It really is the best dry beach machine for shingle ever .
