At The Beach 4 - I'm Done. Matchbox Pocket Spill

[F350Platinum]

Got out really early today, it's my last full day here. walked the towel and tent line, there isn't much left. Dug a couple of pennies and a few other things, I dug a working Space Pen, a wired toe ring, broken white metal fish ring fragment, a costume earring, and a nice little Case USA jackknife. It was abused, I'll have to straighten the blades.

Ran into a detectorist at the hotel, he is a local who comes up now and again. He had a Minelab Sovereign and the largest coil I've ever seen, about 15-20". He was dragging his shovel behind him to know where he'd been.

He showed me a gold plated pendant and a gold ring, he had to dig a huge deep hole to get the ring, I think. One of his holes was enormous. As I've written, targets are deep here. I'm guessing some are deeper than the Equinox goes.

This is my trash: found a "spill" of Matchbox style cars all in the same place about 4". I cleaned them up and left them for kids.

Won't lie, I dug two of the bottle caps. Rest were on top. Some of the pull tabs were too. For some reason bottle caps weren't throwing much of an iron tone today. Lots of boat brass and copper deep here.

My wife took the space pen, she wants one. I geared on the other guys' line of digs and followed the low tide way down the beach, where I got the large gold hoop, it was a broken 5 and very deep. Only "gold" I found! Got one of the pennies out there too, nothing else but small brass and copper plates. 

I was kinda disappointed. Better luck next year! 😀 It's been a great trip.

Is the pocket knife a Case?

Nice!  It's seen some use (and slight damage) but it appears you found it before major corrosion set it.  Maybe not what you were looking for (well, not a coin or piece of jewelry, anyway) but still has at least utilitarian value.

True. Not every day one finds a $50 knife in any decent shape I'll wager. 😀 Two of the blades are bent and a bit cruddy and the bone is chipped on one side, but it's sharp as all get out. Codes reveal it to be a 2019. Going to straighten them and clean it up. Didn't get too much sand in it either, but it was buried. Crazy ID, a fruit salad of numbers. Steel, brass, zinc, nickel.

Recap: Keeper coins, $3.10. threw out about 4 crusty Zincolns. Mostly quarters. 2 rings, both 925 silver. One Pandora charm, 14k plated 925. Two earrings, one may be gold plated. Case pocket knife, Space Pen, Apple watch series 3, working. Only kept one sinker and a carabiner. 4 Matchbox style cars, gave them all away. I got out 4 hours every day for 6 days. I could have done better if I had more experience, but I learned a lot, and my wife got some fairly nice stuff. ♥️

Glad to see you with some good hunts and loved the pictures also.

One of these days your going to have to find matching earrings for your wife.

Good luck and have a safe trip home.

   Even more fun to follow his grid (if he's done there!) to see what he missed! Or the areas on his swing fringe! Especially if he was moving fast! There is always missed items!!👍👍
