Christmas day. (England)

Doug · Dec 28, 2020

On a day with a temperature of 37F and a wind chill factor down around freezing what a better day than to mess around in the water!

Heavy winter rains will cause the fresh water stream to flood and take a lot of the sand down towards the low water mark.

I pulled out around $19 with 2 old pre-decimal coins top right.

Thanks for looking...........Doug.

A winter sun.

The fresh water stream.

First hour.

Wet sand find, earring?

Total finds less junk.

Nice Christmas Day haul!

You guys that have those large denomination coins can make a high dollar haul in just a few coins!

I wish we would get rid of pennies (I know blasphemy coming for me :lol:

) and go full out with dollar and $2 coins. You got to eliminate the dollar bill though for this to work.

That's something I miss about being stationed over there. Could go out to the pub and drink all night on a pocket full of change.

It looks like I'll have the opportunity to be in the U.K. for 6 or so months. I'll be near Cambridge and I'd like to check out the beaches on the East Coast.

Any FYI's you'd care to share? Do I really need a permit to hunt the beaches?

No permit required.

The nearest beach to you is around 70 miles away. Not my area I'm 140+ miles away from the east coast.

Not sure when you intend to arrive but we have had around 26 weeks of one level or another of lockdown and we still are in lockdown.

Well yes, I'm glad you asked. I sell them. Please kindly send me $100 (I accept paypal), and I will mail you your permit. Any other questions ? :cool3:

Maybe in Kalifornia a permit is needed. In reading about the U.K., it mentions the Crown Estate. I'm trying to figure out if this is one of those laws in the books, that they enforce or feel like enforcing if needed.

I'll be flying in on the 4th of February. Sounds like I'll be in lockdown for 10 days, upon arriving.

Any cultural things I should know, other than driving on the other side of the road? Any good foods you'd recommend?

To the best of my knowledge it's been suspended, no idea why.

I have driven a lot in the US so I know how you feel!

I was given a piece of advice the first time I came to the US driving to which side of the road to be on more so when turning off one road to another.....

"Put the passenger side of the car on the pavement (sidewalk) of the road once you have completed your turn."

Another tip I was given, tie a yellow cloth/duster or any piece of material to your steering wheel at the end of the day, next day it 'should' remind you the reason was to..........which side of the road you have to drive on?

Eating out, all eateries are closed, only take-away's.........

This is what my local beach looks like on lockdown this week.

This is summer time, but not last year with the lockdown!

Christmas day. (England)
