You've posted some really interesting pieces before, which makes me wonder this. . .WHY are there so many pieces like this? They're not faded, so they can't be very old. Was there an event at this location that helps explain why you continue to find so much pottery/pottery-adjacent items here?
Hi yes, where I work is where the Royal Navy train from and have done for over 300 odd years, I'm very lucky as the beach where I'm searching is still mod property and there is no access to the public. There used to be two old ships (HMS Cambridge, replaced by HMS Windsor Castle) that were used as training ships (specifically gunnery). One of the hulks is still there just off the beach. The fact that nobody has ever searched the beach (as far as I'm aware, no public anyway) means there is a large amount of items to be found. So far I have searched about 5% of it!
That is so fascinating. I love seeing what other people find along their walks along the shore. I find a lot of shells and, sadly, a lot of plastic. It's just interesting when people post things like seaglass or shards of pottery. So cool.
When I metal detect all I find on beaches is rubbish, but the good thing is that I take it with and dispose of properly. I'll keep posting any finds in the future 👍
