Hot Wheels 3

[F350Platinum]

This post is a bit late, it's been a hot and busy week. Got out last Monday at 6am to go to my local big beach, should have been pretty packed because the kiddies go back to school tomorrow. Glad I got out of education before the summer got cut short. 🫤

My first surprise was that they raised the parking rate from $2 an hour to $3. Probably explains why there was no one there. No detectorists or people. 🤔

It wasn't too bad a day, didn't get all that hot, but for quite a while I found nothing. I zigzagged the upper beach, even grid searched some sections, and the finds a started trickling in. I hit a Hot Wheel burial, and found a few coins.

Came back along the surf line and did a little better.  Here's all the trash:

Just some odd bits and oddly enough some brass.

And the finds, 5 more toy cars, two lighters, two earrings, a sizable child's ring, an aluminum pencil sharpener, a massive junk chain that gave a really odd brassy iron signal, and about $2.50 in coins.

The hoop earring on the left turned out to be silver, .925 from Italy. So there's that. 🤣 In 3 weeks I've found over 20 toy cars, is this a sign? 🤔

Nice haul, F350, it looks like you got your beach program dialed in, well done!

You should have enough toy cars now to open a used car lot online! 🤣

Thanks Cap'n,

It seems like it's finding everything there is to find. 🤔 Going back tomorrow hoping to do a little better. Noticed from going to my small beach today (skunk) the water is getting colder, and there were almost no jellyfish so I might try the shallows as well. Same river but 50+ miles southeast.

Who'd a thunk I'd pay for the Deus in toy cars? Might take a while. 🤣

Thanks RVP, haven't seen many beach posts at all this summer, so somebody's gotta do it to inspire. 😀 No matter how meager or disappointing. 🤣

Yup yup. I haven't been to the beach once this summer...the fairgrounds have been fair though .   I'll be very displeased with myself if I don't before the weather changes ....again. But more displeased if I'm still uptah camp. I addedd the palm trees for my own benefit .

Sooner or later Hot Wheels will be showing up at your door making an offer on all your cars. Hold out until they hit a good price for them to get another detector.

Great hunt and good luck on your next outing.
