Message:: [QUOTE="calumsherwood, post: 1169409, member: 27796"]today i spent most of my day at the beach, but befor i went there i stopped by a new junk shop that has opened up because i heard he was selling coins. i had a look at what he had, which was nothing much, but i noticed that everything he had on display had been very harshly cleaned. i asked him if he did it and he seemed to take offence, then he pulled a small bag from behind the counter and said "if you like dirty coins you can have theses for £2". i had a quick look and saw that they where mostly pre 1940 pennies so i thought what the **** there might be a '36 in there lol. any way when i got to the beach i had a good look through them and there was quite a few QE2 sixpences in there. then me and my partner got talking about how i got in to collecting and i told her it was because i had found a coin in a hedge and it had made my day. so then i got the idea to plant some of the sixpences (ive always had a dislike for them any way) around the beach in rockpools and half burried in sand and the like so that hopefully some one can find one and it makes their day. and you never know i might have just turned some one from the whiteheaven area into a collector. sorry for the HUGE story, just thought it would be nice to share. all the best[/QUOTE]
