Managed to squeeze in a couple hours yesterday after getting the nippers of to school. Got permission for nice little spot used to be real popular back in the day, not a lot of mega old stuff but I have had some sterling here & there.

First half crown for ages! pretty stoked with that. Wicked little gun maybe a luger? Think I can almost remember having one as a kid, Usual pennys & a non silver pocket spill - shilling, 2 x sixpence & a thrup man they are heart breakers!! interesting little tag/label.

The three ring charm I found a few weeks ago at the same spot, maybe my first diamond? haha in my dreams!!

Lucky you with all that silver.
Guess I will have to leave the beaches and get back to the land and get some too.
Well done.
