rvpopeye Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 sohN I suppose you're right . My clad quarter is worth 25 of those zincolns , maybe 30 ? And I only had to dig a few holes into a giant dirtcicle too ! Thx for pointing that out. I feel better now. The half pull tab and foil ball is nothing compared to your junk though . 🤗! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoolofhardNox Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Beach hunt # 23 is over. I started by hunting another beach I had done well on recently and was lucky enough to get a Walking Liberty half dollar. 🥰 I spent about 4 hours there and the only other good find was a military cuff button. So, it was time to move on. Beach #2 however was the beach I have been hunting for the last couple of times, so I didn’t take much for me to head there. It was slow going at first, finally scoring a worn-out Mercury dime. I was pretty sure my day would end with just 2 silvers for the day. I did get a lot of coins, mostly clad, along with less trash than the other beach. Finally, I hit a spot that gave me a small silver ring along with an odd silver pendant. I was almost ready to go, as the sun sets fast these days. I procrastinate a lot at the end of a hunt, and I was bitchin’ to myself that I spent too much time at the first beach. 😔 But as luck has it, I hit 3 targets in a row that were silver dimes. That helped a lot. I did get my obligatory Buffalo nickel, as I feel lonely without one. 🙄 The biggest surprise came at home when I started to look over the nickels, checking on the dates. I usually use nickels to see what era I was hunting in. I would have never imagined I had 2 silver war nickels, as they were green encrusted, as opposed to the normal black beach encrusted ones. After thinking about it, I barely recall finding one green war nickel before. I only spent 3 hours at beach 2, but the finds outdid beach one (time spent). A decent hunt and I’m struggling to see where I want to go next. I may have to again do a 2-beach hunt, starting at a new beach and then ending up at silver beach. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's supposed to read - # 1. On the side I showed you can just read the "ng" from sterling to the right of the bottom of the 1. God I hate spoons 😫 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stalker Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 School, What machine were you using for this hunt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I usually bring the AQ and the Manticore in case my 2 batteries die on the 5000. These recent hunts seem to draw down each of my batteries after 4 hours hunting. My machine of choice for beaches is the GPX. But the beach takes a toll on the machine. I'm surprised it survives what I do to it 😅 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Outstanding again. I don't know how you do it, but I sure know why, 🤔 looks like things are starting to thin a bit. 😬 I get the silverware but old buttons and doorknobs? Well at one beach I have found some old house parts like glass fuses and such. Another great one. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Author Report Posted yesterday at 03:34 PM If I've been following correctly, isn't this the first time in a while you've been in single digits with your silver coin count? Even for you that was a hell of a run! BTW, if you think of it would you run one of those green Warnicks over the Manticore and report the digital TID? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
