Default Weather trouble

Went out this afternoon about 3.15 wind was blowing abit but thought id give it ago, got to my local spot about 3 minutes drive and set of across the large fields swingging the coil great i hit a good tone about 50 yds in it was another lead bullet a few ring pulls later i hit an old coin dont know what date yet it needs a good clean, the wind picked up to gale force by then and blew me of my feet, i'm only a little guy 6/1 and around 225lbs 4.30 it was time to get on home and dry off as the rain had started and i was soaked in about 2 minutes weather is getting worse and bad stoms forcast for the next few days, i only live about 30 minutes drive from the local beaches / southport / formby / crosby / all very close to Liverpool, plenty of old ships have sunk over the last few hundred years here so i will try these out later in the week, the water is being blown over the sea walls so it might uncover some good finds once the storms let up.

keep you all informed if i get anything
