The heavy easterly weather of the last week made considerable alteration in some of the sand levels on the beach and in cases exposed the papa rock below. The finding of 1 a Cw coins led to a systematic search, and about £5 has been found. One gleaner has been rewarded with 15s, and another with 12s 6d.

The articles found besides coins include, three rings an a set of false teeth.
