schoolofhardNox Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Great find considering how small it is. Hard to locate small targets in all that sand sometimes. I've found a few partial plates (2 or 3 teeth) before and some gold grills as well. Not very often considering how many targets you can dig before finding something like that. It's easier to find a gold ring than dental gold. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 There are several threads here with gold found from the mouth. It is a wonder sometimes how it gets to the place where you find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geof_junk Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Sovereigns are 22ct and was used by back yard dentist to make false dentures. The photo below are of my bother in-law beach hunt dentures with a 2 Oz nugget and Aus. $2 coin back in the mid 1980's. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compass Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Having found several gold crowns over the years, I think that most, if not all, were from cremation urns. I became convinced of this when I found 3 on one hunt and all looked similar. I'm pretty sure that the melting point of most gold crown alloys is higher than the typical cremation temperature. My local beaches have also produced a few cremation tags so it must be a popular place to spread cremation ashes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
