pier fire

[rubberdiver13]

the local pier after 150 yrs, due to fire from a tipped over electric heater, caught fire and has gutted the entire length, the arcade and thousands of coins decended into the waves below...... all at the end in the low tide mark....but the mud and silt is 1ft deep...so not many visitors wanted to walk out into that.... , so far ive found loads of coppers...wondering where the bandits fell..with there jackpots still intact

By bandits, you are referring to Slot Machines? Because I have heard that some dealers were bandits......NGE

Sounds a bit odd. The last pier to burn in England was in July of this year ('08). The fire was apparently caused by deep fat fryers (?). It's reported that the fire was so hot, everything (money included) was basically all melted. Here's a few links...

Sounds like a neat place to hunt. Sure would like to see some pictures of your finds.

Here in Ohio USA, we hunt a lake site. We have found over 3,000 rings in the water. Many of them
are in silk deep spots. They are mucky areas and must be hunted with a wet suit on and wet suit shoes.
We always hunt in the water with wet shoes on.
