Well still lots of Brass and some weird silver knobbly nuggets that I keep finding everywhere but sure if they are Aluminum/Lead/Silver?
Also an eye's find 1907 Half Penny in a rock pool

The Beach is not producing much in the way of finds recently mainly Brass, Aluminum and Copper and the odd spendable coin here and there. Going to save all the metals and take them to the scrap dealer for a couple of quid hopefully

Well I have been using my Garrett 250 for a few weeks now and I have found on the Beach down here I use All Metal Mode and notch out the top 2 bars near the iron end and then set the sensitivity 4 bars down from max, that way it cuts out a lot of annoying iron on the beach but still find loads of ju...

Yes I will crack on and see what turns up I just felt like a wee rant and thanks for the kind replies Puffin and cheers for the help.

I have looked into the Clubs but sadly they all meet in out of town areas or evening times when I'm usually at work and that would need a hefty cab fare or your own car etc and as I don't know anyone that is a MD that owns a car to hitch a lift! so it makes it more impossible to stride away from thi...

Hi again Puffin & Deetektor and thanks for the information, I have learned to adjust to the tones as a Ring is more of a good hit as a Ding is something there but not sure what it is type of tones, as to the Pin-Pointing with the Garrett Coil it's not too bad other than when I have been digging larg...

Well money is still very tight for me but managed to fix a few computers so made just enough to buy a Bounty Hunter Pin-Pointer for £34, yes I know a lot of people hate or slate this tool but for my budget I actually think it's pretty cool and so does my daughter who thinks its a magic wand, I have ...

Well today I had a go between the Leas Lifts and the Mermaid Cafe on the Shingle Beach, it was hard work but managed to find a 1962 One Shilling coin and £1 Coin and lots of mashed up can trash. So I called it a day and walked off back down to the Sandy Beach where it was absolutely empty but did no...

2nd day MD down the Sandy Beach at Folkestone Seafront today and again not a great day as the beach was packed out with our Random March weather :g7: but managed to find an area where I was out of the way and managed to find an old Button and a Lump of Silver or Aluminum not sure? Other finds where ...

Well the beach was nice for the kids but all I dug was trash and not a single coin and after 2hrs all the members of public started to fill the beach so I called it day!

Ah well you can't win them all, might try and have another go tomorrow seeing as lots of people went down there today

Hi scratchiemm and yes I hope to have a good time learning my machine and the different tones also the Pin-Pointing, Permit and Permission wise I am contacting all I can think of locally and then from there I will start seeking Permission's from local land owner's. It would be nice to get out and ab...

Well I have my new machine namely the Garrett Ace 250 and had a little go in the back garden much to my wife's amusement along with the kids asking what the heck am I doing digging up the garden, set myself to go out this weekend along the Seafront but depending on the weather as it's suddenly warme...

Hi again bobby button and thanks for the input, yes my budget right now is low but I am going to start saving again towards a pin-pointer and yes I have already got my own set of Headphones with volume control that I like over the free Garrett ones I got with the machine. I have already packed a spa...

Yet again another good insight into Beach Detecting, many thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Excellent read and will help me along on my first Beach dig this weekend.
