Yes a beach find. I shall be back there tomorrow. U fortunately there are lots of iron signals in the area, from iron junk as well as basalt rock. If a nail sits with a sovereign my discrimination will cancel it out. Can't bring myself to switch off the disc....

I think you need to alter your signature a wee bit mate...should now read "rings and sov's await my coil"
Once again, huge congrats man.
