Its been an unusually warm October here in the UK and at long last I managed to get a few long-waited-for days by the sea. Not a metal-detecting holiday as I'd liked as I was travelling with a non-detectorist and other plans were made but I managed to slip the machine in the boot of the car with the luggage and was allowed to get it out an odd hour here and there!
This was the first time I'd taken the E-trac on the beach and he loved it - much better behaved than Mr. Lobo - In water, on wet sand and dry it just performed as if I was on my own pasture fields - Thank you Minelab.
I wasn't expecting anything old as there was far too much sand build up from the year's tides (I must go back when they scrape it all off).
Plenty of modern money for the beer fund - totalling £10.38:
a few buttons:
including one military button:
2 toy cars and other stuff:
Plenty of Lead Fishing Weights:
and even more Fishing Weights that would have caused great pain to adults let alone children if they were walked on barefoot:
On one occasion I bumped into a local man (his territory) - told me he did the beach most days. Usually found 2ps and 5ps - I think he was annoyed when I showed him the £2 coin and £1 pound coins I'd just found.
The break did me good, next time I'll try and time it for when the beaches have been scraped down a couple of feet and make it an exclusive Metal Detecting Holiday!
Stick of rock anyone?

I'd take that money and invest it in a speckled hen or three at the local pub.
I can get just over 4 pints with that!
