Popular Post Joe Beechnut OBN Posted October 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2021 Back to a spot I've been working the last few weeks. This trip it gave up a couple more golds, 10k 1935 Class ring and a 14k wedding band. Then 3 silver crusty coins and one "P" nickel.. (which I do not count as silver)........ I was able to Opened the brass compact, Very surprised to see a 1911 Barber dime and a ticket inside. The dime is as detailed as the day it was lost, saved by what ever was in the compact stamped " Woodward and Lothrop " The ticket does have some faint writing, can't make it out other then some numbers. Going to be interesting, I was able to mark off this location with a stray crab pot. See if it worked the next trip back. Winds and tides are going to be crazy for several days, so I'll be surprised if all is where I left it. This beach has one little Hot area, I've tried using land markers but it still takes me a hour or more to find it since it is so small and I am a ways off shore. The spot sure holds the right targets and they can only be heard if your moving slow. I had planned on taking the Fisher "AQ", never worked out, one side of "My skullies"' headphones was acting up so I ended up using the Excalibur. Hope to get back out after the 8th, can't wait! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuniagau Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Nice gold saves, Joe! I love the old compacts. I once dug one with three buffalo nickels in it, so I always open them up. Your surf looks a little angry too. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King-Of-Bling Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 More cool stuff. Could have been a gold $5 or $10 in that compact. When you find gold it sounds like geese or a duck call ! As Costanza would say " The sea was angry my friend". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Very nice finds again, loved the save on the compact with the dime as it will clean up nicely. Nice rings and sounds like you had a lot of fun, and maybe next time you hit that place up again you will have a crab for dinner. Good luck and stay safe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Fine lookin' catch as usual Joe ! Nice "hot spot". Tag it with a GPS ? That crab trap is probably going on a world tour. That piece of water doesn't look like much fun .....? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mr KOB... ..when I first seen the edge of the coin it looks a faint yellow, but the faint out line of Dime spoiled that.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
