Thank you to all the people I have taken which makes fossil hunting a great experience. The weather this summer has been kind which is no very good for fossil hunting. In the last few weeks several ichthyosaur vertebrae have been found on the beach to the west of Charmouth and I have been lucky enough to find four of them.
GOLD ON THE BEACH.
At last I have found gold on the beach near Lyme Regis. I took a group out fossil hunting on a late afternoon in August and while looking for fossils on the beach the rays of sun sparkled on a piece of metal……….GOLD!
I carefully extracted my treasure from the silt and sediment and when I reached home I weighed my new found treasure. Total weight was 2 grams.
My nugget of gold was a small ear stud…………I just need another 2,000.
