He thinks it might be the end of a pedal off an old Austin A7 Apparently, they had very small round bits on the end of the brake & accelarator pedals.

Im sure they are there, somewhere. Found some pennys and a few silvers. This one beach stretch that i often do a quick buzz over, of about 2-3 meters, produces old silvers and pennys everytime i hit it. This time i hit two threepences down real deep on a week signal. These coins cant go anywhere as there hard up against an old time cement/stone boat ramp that runs thru the middle of the beach. Found one of my 1834's here. Bound to be more. A front end loader comes to mind... then id reach more coins.

Just think several detectorists could sit in a circle around the digger drinking beer or something and the digger could pass you a bucket load of sand to detect at your lesiure. :-) What do ya reckon? Civilized detecting?

Or im thinking of digging a 1m trench at a time with the shovel, 3/4 foot deep, then buzz along them. A shallow trench may just be the trick to reach all the goodies properly.

Sounds like a great place to take a dredge to test it out :)

Hi Chris, Trust me- you do not want all day Beach Hunt. just want to share my 8 Hour Hunt in summer at the beach: So i decided to come for low tide 1 hour before in early morning. so all went well and 2 hour hunt on flat low tide mark was fine. then i start moving into wet sand and eventually onto dry sand. after about 4 hour i started to get tired as it was really hard to move in dry sand. after 6 hours i was really tired. even that i had breaks, food and water. I am 28 and i consider myself very fit. but 8 hours of metal detecting in sand made really exausted... :-( That was a test to see if it would be possible to make a living during summer just by metal detecting... To be honest, i rather jsut do 3-4 hours at the beach maximum :-)

Ok so I might have eaten half, but still it takes quite a bit of exercise to build up an appetite for that much pig fat. Yeah I would put money on Poohbear lasting 8 hours in the sand just because he is such a detecting addict if nothing else. Poohbear are you up for the challenge?
