Crackington Haven

We are working in Crackington Haven in Cornwall for the next few days,

and just in case work gets in the way, we're  going down early so I can go on the beach late afternoon today with my new metal detector,

to see what I can find. Up till now all I've found is bits of alloy from a German E boat that was scrapped on the beach in WW2......

I'll let you know when I find the sovereigns.
