My Metal Detecting Finds (27/02/2014 – 28/02/2014)
Hello Hunters¡¡
I wanted to find another beach that might be similar in results to Rodiles’s Beach because this one already was recovering the lost sand and I was finding less things… And I tried in a beach placed to 40 minutes from my house: LA ISLA BEACH
The beach of La Isla (The Island) takes its name from an islet to the West of the beach to which it is joined at low tide via an isthmus – the islet is called El Peñón and it’s so big you cannot miss it. The eastern part of the beach is known as El Barrigón (the fat belly) and is sometimes considered a beach in itself, separate from La Isla. It’s a huge sandy beach, with lots of amenities and partially surrounded by a wooden promenade. It has showers, toilets, parking, lots of bars and restaurants nearby, lifeguard during high season and hostels. It’s an accessible beach for people with limited mobility and a good fishing and surfing spot.
And the beach that I chose was very good. I found few current coins (always it is good to drink coffees :))
But it was a perfect beach to find coins of peseta and also I found a coin 5 Cent of Alfonso XII and two interesting enough coins of 1944.
The rest of coins more or less are normal enough.
The curious thing was the quantity of found coins… More than 100 coins at approximately 8 hours of search
As for jewels I found a ring of silver and a golden hanger, really in good condition both. You can see in the next photo
As I was saying to you two perfect days though it was raining very much also the coins were raining
Happy Hunting¡¡¡
My Metal Detecting Finds (26/02/2014)
Good evening from Spain…
Today I am going to join two days in one because they were not too good. Yesterday I went to Bañugues’s Beach and found the majority of the coins that you can see in the photo that I you put at the end of the post.
This beach, which belongs to the Cape Peñas Protected Landscape Area, is very fashionable. It is located at the end of an eroded inlet, where the sand contrasts with long rocks
The beach was very dirty and was of black sand very similar to the coal, there was no good sign.
The photo that I put is not of today, it is of the summer. The accesses and the parking are very damaged
And today I have gone to another beach, a beach that belongs of most visited of Avilés, but also he is in a bad condition.
It is Aguilar Beach and is placed in Muros del Nalón.
In this beach of the central-west, more and more popular, and is noticeable, especially on weekends and holidays, the presence of a considerable number of visitors to the center of the region. Endowed with good tourist infrastructure, the sand is outstanding Aguilar Muros Nalon, a small part of it belongs to council Cudillero. The industry this is known as beach Campofrío. The medieval archaeological site of El Castiellu lies between the beach and the Xilo, separating them.
In this beach I found the rest of things, two bullets and tools of fishing. In following photos you can see all the Finds … I hope that next time has more luck 😉
Happy Hunting Everyone¡¡¡¡
My Metal Detecting Finds (24/02/2014)
I returned to the same beach that last week, Rodiles beach
One of the most beautiful beaches in Asturias. There are all types of services and facilities from showers to a team of lifeguards so that the beach is safe. Both sides of the beach are surrounded by woods and cliffs that provide lovely views. Without doubt the surfers paradise of Asturias. During the best part of the year you can see dozens of surfers doing all kinds of manoeuvres on the waves. Behind the beach there are sand dunes. The sand is fine and of excellent quality.
It is a big enough beach and that I want to hunt meticulously…I was hunting in the central zone and west of the beach. For third consecutive week .. I have found another ring of gold
But not only I have found the golden ring, also I have found other two rings of silver, four coins (pesetas and Euros) and fisherman’s tools
You can see all photos of the searches…
