Post by: Paulsgold on February 12, 2017, 08:07 pm: It was about £70 plus two gold rings this was on Brighton beach in the 80s after a big storm. Still waiting for the next big storm to strip the beach in the same way.

Post by: Nuke em on February 19, 2017, 07:15 pm: My biggest on a beach was £171 in a night session during a Summer .
But my best with a ring was £157.99 and a Gold ring and £143 and a Gold ring the following year .
The totals are now starting to dwindle due to card / phone payments for everything these days . And its the young that are most responsible for that .
If the new Pound coin is made of Iron in its center section then they will rot quickly in the salt and that will ruin our scores .
But at the moment i am not sure of the metals that the new pound coin are made of , find different details here and there .

Post by: Redfoot on February 19, 2017, 10:17 pm: I think all our coinage is inferior,it decays very quickly i have dug decimal coins from fields less that 20 years old and they are severely corroded in that ID is nigh impossible so we wont be leaving much in the ground for future generations
