Joe Beechnut OBN Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Amazing what a week of the wrong direction winds can do. Keeping tides very high and pushing sand in...Not Good. But luck was with me the last two hunts and I was able to get into a small section out in the middle of no where and dig some treasures. Four Gold rings and eight silvers.

GB_Amateur Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Winter doesn't stop some people, and they're rewarded! It looks like there's a message inside that one ring for the lucky finder. "Last great act of defiance...." 😄 What is the 'U' token? Your silver coin finds sure have taken a beating. Is that just from the rocks in the surf working over decades?

Very Correct on the 2 letter message, figured everyone would get a laugh out of that one.. Baltimore transit token, It was one of the best ways to get to these beach's in the day. I'm wondering if you lost your token, if you were able to get home? For I'm sure they did not sell the tokens at the beach's. Before my time but I do have a friend I can ask, I need to go visit him. 92 years old and has so many great stories. 4 minutes ago, GB_Amateur said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Think you can find the owner of the dogtag? Wonder how old that is? Cool finds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you.........I don't think its a dog tag, more of a ID tag.? What you think? Rarely, do I take the time to track people down, if I find dog tags I have one friend that loves to return stuff. He's on me all of the time about this so much easier to hand it to him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Has the tooth groove on one end, I do believe it's a military dog tag. Maybe an Iraq war vet lost it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolofhardNox Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Great hunts! It has been sanded in where I usually go, so I've taken a break from it. You worked hard to find an area that was still detectable, and it payed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I did a little digging, in Wichita there is an airforce base that was established in ww2. https://www.sheppard.af.mil/Home/Welcome/ There seems to be 2 memorials out for Edwin E Estes, one a Sr other Jr. So my wild guess those tags might be Korean war? Possibly WW2. Thinking someone dumped an urn and tossed the tags in the ocean and you were kind enough to recover them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
