Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Metal Detecting My rubbish finds

Well been on the old shore by me today metal detecting, found nothing of interest really but thought I'd better put something up show you I am still trying. Thought I'd come across a treasure chest when I found the round handle thing , lol. There is an old boat on the shore so me thinks a lot of came off that. Oh well onwards and upwards!

Oh oh pic hasn't come on , I'll try again.....

Try again...

Well Done Cools , looks like Nails ,A lock , A rope tie loop, and the other things to me look 'Scaffolding fixing clamps' maybe ..

The bolts could be off old groynes.

Good find Cools.
Missm could be right,It does look like off old scaffolding bits and peices.
Weather will be improving this week so hopefully you will get out and about to do your searching xx

Four tooth lock washers per bolt is unusual it would imply five layers of wood but I guess they have just been used for three layers (post with a plank either side) and put unnecessary toothed washers behind the square washers.

Thanks peeps . So is that what those bolts are from, scaffolding?

Definitely not scaffolding, unless its wooden scaffolding.

The article below the lock looks like a rowing boat rollick, if it was opened up to a U shape.

Yeah I agree Dusty, as I said think it's all off this old boat that been left on beach.

It is a pipe clip, the type used to secure the likes of old central heating pipes.

Hi all. could They be off the great eastern it was broke down there.

No matter what you find Cools a find is a find so keep it up and I'm sure you will soon be digging up something that makes you smile. Meanwhile keep posting you finds for us all to try to identify.

Thanks for the encouragement Dilly. Building up quite a scrapyard in my back..
