[QUOTE="Scoopa, post: 637414, member: 184"] Decided to have a swing at Newcastle Beach after the large swells. Plenty of sea foam and black sand! I didn't do to bad, although a bit low on the ring count. Found one Gold and only one silver ring. 31 coins, 13 of which are pre-decimal however the coppers are pretty toasted. Silvers are in better nick with the earliest being 1944. The large copper coin near the rings in the photo I believe is a cartwheel penny! Heavily corroded but you can clearly see the wide outer rim, George 111 and britannia on the reverse. No inscription can be read but if you've ever handled a cartwheel you know how thick and heavy they are compared to other pennies. Unfortunately I didn't run into any other detectorists down there but get out and have a swing before the sand returns. Good luck everyone! [/QUOTE]
