The blood moon/ harvest moon/ full moon/ lunar eclipse has really affected the tides! Low tide around here hovers around 1.0 metres, but with the lunar events, it has dipped down to -0.2 metres this morning. Took advantage of it and went swinging for three hours. Filled my pouch with lead, copper, brass and pewter. Dug a few keepers though! Got another 1797 Cartwheel Penny...I think this is #6. Eyeballed a marble and porcelain door knob. Got more hunks of brass and copper that I'll put in the case. I like shiny things Speaking of shiny things, I found another silver but it's roached. Given the date range of the coins here, I suspect it's another Georgian sixpence or a reale. When I was going through my pouch, I came across this brass piece. I thought it was a rivet or nail, then it struck me...it's a pipe tamper...no, it's a Victorian coat hook Added to my collection of Musketballs and pistol balls too. Last dig of the day was at the high tide mark right below the hill that I needed to climb to get out of there. 1927 coronation medal. It's the second one I found, and I think the first one may of came from that beach as well, but my memory is bad. Thanks for looking and HH.
