Beach Detecting Again

[schoolofhardNox]

 I went back to my silver beach, as I had a fairly good feeling this part of the beach would not change much. It did not and I had a very good day. Spent 7 hours there with the GPX, dug all signals including iron and finally called it quits when my brain said GO HOME! The number of signals in a short span was unreal. I spent some of my time just detecting from my knees, since I could get 4 or 5 signals in very close proximity to the signal I was digging. Most of the time just inches away. Total coin count I believe was 150. 18 silvers, all copper pennies but 1 zinc, so I put that with the trash picture. It ruined my perfect copper penny day and I refuse to put it next to them. 😄 4 Buffalo Nickels showed up, as well as 1 Indian Head Cent, a Standing Liberty Quarter, and a Barber Dime (a rarity on this beach).  Also, a nice little locket which I am unsure if it's solid gold or gold filled.  It has a 14 stamped on the inside with a maker’s symbol that looks like a variation of Neptune’s 3-pronged spear (Trident). I saw no indication of peeling of the gold, so I am cautiously optimistic I found gold. Of course, with the type of hunting I do, there was lots of junk as well. Got my exercise in for the week and plan on hitting it again soon.  Weather was rather nice and sunny, just shy of cold. No matter how old you are, the kid in us still has to play! 🙂

Good lord, man! Hope I have a day like that when I go to the beach. Unlikely because of my experience, but WOW. Great haul! That's a haul right there. 😀

I never get tired of seeing those beach-kissed blackened silver coins in my scoop !

Thanks. The GPX has a lot to do with it.  Without it I probably would not have nearly that amount. Experience comes with time and of course using your brain 😄 My experience is learned very slowly, unlike some others who learn quick.

You ain't kidding! They don't clean up well, but it sure beats clad. 😉

  Whopper of a day! Your good for March already! I need that type of beach near me! You definitely were in the ring range with all those nickles! Great job! When the soreness goes away, you will have to hit it again!!👍👍

Just how many days did it take to get all that?

Fantastic hunt, just wish I could do that sometime.

Good luck on your next outing.

Those conditions must have been perfect!  Nice haul of silver for any beach.  GaryC/Oregon Coast

You're the man!  What a great outing for a great guy.

I'll contrast it with my 2 hour outing on the beach here and I found less than $.50!

What coil do you use with the 5000?

Great Silver haul!  that charm looks promising.

years back I would clean all my silver.  Then I realized it look just like the pile of clad next to it. 

Now I do not clean silver I leave it all black and crusty as I found it.  When I look into my box of silver coins they bring back the memories of finding them.
