D2 V2 Ear-stravaganza And Interesting Coin

[F350Platinum]

Rainy morning here in the Mid Atlantic, but I timed it perfectly so I would miss the rain.

It was 64 when I got there, but the sun came out later and it was perfect for detecting. Targets were hot from the rain. V2 is no different for me than the earlier version, they didn't change anything or much, yay. Today I tried lowering sensitivity to 87, and found iron wrapped less. It still hit coins at 10" at least.

There were no events at this beach last weekend, so I didn't expect much, and really didn't expect to be the only one there all day. The tide got extremely low from the wind, so all the right things happened. It was also a bit sanded out by the wind from Lee.

Didn't dig much trash, just the usual junk and annoying .22 short bullet shells that are everywhere here.

Here's the haul, 6 earrings, one pair. Unfortunately none are silver or gold. I even got more copper memorials than Zincolns! 8-7. ?

I found the first tiny butterfly with the clasp on it, so I was pretty sure I'd find the pair, and I was right. Got at least one of every coin, so I wasn't missing anything for sure.

Best find of the day was a 64, it was just too solid and clean for a pull tab:

Moroccan 1 Dirham, worth about 10 cents US. It's at least 2002, and features Mohammed VI on the obverse. Exactly the same size as a US quarter, and made of copper/nickel.

Parts of Morocco were destroyed recently by earthquakes, so it's kinda ironic to find a coin from there, never seen one.

I find the strangest stuff at this beach. ?

Morocco coin? Never seen one of those. Cool find.  Don't you just love all the junk jewelry we are finding these days? Congrats one beatin' the zincolns!!!

Nor have I, to date I've found a Spanish 8 Maravedis, a Cuban nickel, an old bus token and at least 2 silver mercs, one on the high beach and one in the water. Now this. ?

Junk jewelry is almost all I ever find here, no major hotel chains, or wealthy clientele. It's a funky little town, and there's a gambling house on the water because it's in another state. ? Probably comes up as the only beach anywhere around. I've found about 5 tungsten rings here!

Big Biker festival next weekend, they're gonna trash the place. ?

Thanks! I was telling a buddy that if there was anything really good there I probably would have found it. ? for sure I'm hitting the small stuff hard, could be a number of reasons for that. I'm pretty pleased with my beach program, just not happy that I'm not finding gold. I want to get in the water but still too many jellyfish. Too warm still for my waders. ?

Another great hunt and great haul, F350, well done! You mentioned a Biker Weekend coming up, well make sure you're the first guy there when they leave! They may make a mess, but they also lose a lot of jewelry and money when they party!... or so I been told...?

Thanks RVP,

It's kind of a tough place to hunt, sharp pebbles and red sand on the beach, river sand is fine white silica. Shane they bring crap in to replenish.

Sandals and barefoot are out! Also some black sand in the water, after severe erosion there are black strips everywhere. It's a challenge but with suggestions from people on the forum I'm pretty sure I'm not missing anything. ?

Thanks, these are pretty mundane hunts but I always seem to find something interesting.

Yeah I know a few bikers myself, it's a wild time. I'll probably go early weather permitting. Probably not a good idea to go while they are there. I'm sure it will attract others afterward!

Today The Naval Warfare guys were testing something new, explosions were setting off car alarms. ?
