Title: Re: gold coin from beach Post by: Chef Geoff on February 12, 2012, 08:26:11 PM That's a beauty and made twice as good turning up on the beach. Now the big question is, was it dropped on the beach or washed up from a wreck :o ???
Title: Re: gold coin from beach Post by: topcat on February 12, 2012, 10:16:51 PM it was under the stone and slate layer near the slipway if it had moved about it would not be as sharp as it is so i think it was lost a long time ago in the same position that i found it i went back today but i have cleared all the coins and found no other old finds i think all the £1 coins had been moved to where i found them by the sea and tide into a glory hole , i have found no rings yet on the beach but i will keep on trying
