At The Beach - A Few More Coins And... Silver


Recommended Posts

Well yay. It's great to post here! Hit the beach again this morning, went where I knew there wouldn't be much but wanted to get it out of the way. Got some coins, one of each at least again. Running in Beach 1 near the water, Park 1 works until the sand gets too dry at the high tide line, then I switch back to Beach 1. Ground balance was at or near zero. This place is easy, but every now and again I hit some mineralized sand and get lots of iron tones at 2". That's when I switch to Beach. There is no EMI here until the cell phones start coming.

Some excitement, this guy caught a 4' shark... 20210715_111954.thumb.jpg.4c3b940932a9e41df20791c7db92106e.jpg

I got all these again at chest height to high tide one way and knee height coming back. All modern. 20210715_121511.thumb.jpg.e283d37bcc6c4f654075fd6c61b09906.jpg

Trash was minimal again, all the bottle caps were on the surface, I just picked 'em up. This is all I got, didn't dig anything big or heavy except for one buried wine bottle.20210715_114555.thumb.jpg.1f5fccdf5691b0d9d9c40b41b03460bb.jpg

Ran into another detectorist, he had a White's MXT. He was just hacking around the place he was staying, high on the beach. He complained that all he got was bottle caps and pull tabs, and everything was deep. Yep. All my coins were 10-12" down, nothing in the first or second scoop. Maybe they renewed this beach recently. I told him where he might find better stuff.

I had gone up the beach to talk to him, and headed back to the line I was walking, didn't want to tread on his turf. I'm going to hunt the upper beach tomorrow anyway.20210715_101038.thumb.jpg.ea21eb20eab34b1e3bf5fe6d69ef9fae.jpg

Got a loud 17/18 at about 4" walking back, I was gonna skip it but it wasn't too deep. Scooped and got this little sparkler:20210715_130038.thumb.jpg.8037ac7f7c66d9214c53c6506cdaa65b.jpg

Says IBB CN 925, means Chinese sterling. It has 13 stones, 2 are missing but my wife doesn't care. 😀 I imagine they are CZ's or Moisannite. My loupe needs new batteries to turn on the UV, so I'm going with that.20210715_094752.thumb.jpg.1bdcd1e3e9c392b0b3325d34ced53776.jpg

Also found this nice Mattel car I gave to a kid. Good morning!
