The Jurassic coast. (England)

I had a pleasant afternoon on the beach which makes a change from my 'muddy' fields searching.

Equinox 600 used.

Thanks for looking....Doug.

Part of the cliff face washed out.

Would ruin your day if this lot fell on you!

Coin jammed down in the rocks.

Fishing lead 'grip' weight.

Hammer used for fossil hunting?

Difficult conditions.... that’s some red sand. Yes great pictures

FelixtheCat · Dec 14, 2019

That should be in the Mountain Hunting & Cliffs section of the forum not here. :hammerin:

Nice Doug.. I love it when I find a beach ground down to clay...

OBN · Dec 15, 2019

That looks more like Mars, cool how a lot got pushed in and stayed.

beest · Dec 15, 2019

Nice!

Do you also look for fossils? I would if i would hunt there.

The ocean is a nice change of pace at times. :cool:

Many thanks for your views and comments.

Day 2, now on the north coast.

A few modern coins and quite a few lead bullets.

"There was a small port here by 1380, referred to as the Haven, which had a small jetty.

This Haven had become a port of considerable importance by the end of the fourteenth century and large vessels traded to/from here to various destinations including across to France.

However the Haven started to silt up and become clogged with pebbles, so a harbour wall was constructed in a new location (where the current one is) at the end of the sixteenth century."

Submarine forest visible at low tide, which really is a petrified forest, dating from some 6000 years ago, before melting ice from the last Ice Age caused sea levels to rise and shift the shoreline inland.

Petrified tree.

Not quite sure how old this part of a boat is?

Wow Doug, those are some amazing pictures.

tinsmith · Dec 16, 2019

Doug that's crazy cool! If that old boat gunnel or whatever part of a boat was here it would be surrounded by an iron fence, flood lights and filled with Yale scientist wanna be's holding tooth brushes and trying to look like Harrison Ford!

DaviDs · Dec 16, 2019

Love seeing those pics! :shock:

Doug · Dec 16, 2019

Once again thank you.

Day 3.

Change of location, major swimming and surfing beach on the north coast.

Using my detecting friends Whites TDI Beach Hunter.

This is from a previous session couple of weeks ago.

This is a platinum 950 ring which my friend found today using an Eric Foster Goldscan PI machine. (22 year old machine)

Any day at the beach is a good day! :cool3:

With the history that you have there I think that boat might be part of Noah's ark. :roll:

Nice pictures and finds- must be a great place to hunt- congrats! :yes:
