Popular Post F350Platinum Posted August 19 Popular Post Share Posted August 19 Went to my big beach today, got there early as usual. It was 67 degrees, only warmed up to 83 today but thunderstorms cut me short, I was out there 6 hours. Supposedly there was a lot of activity last weekend, but afternoon severe storms really put a damper on things. I did do well, and as usual got some surprises. Dug a good amount of trash, those old pull tabs come up in the 70s. Fishing tackle, sinkers and some old copper screws. The finds outnumbered the trash however: Got 55 coins today not including the crusty Zincolns I threw out. Even got 4 wheats, the old coins were popping up again. I could only read two dates, 1944 and 1917. Having 100+ year old coins come up is quite a shock on a beach. 🤔 I also got a lot of other stuff, the small medicine bottle and skeleton key were where the old wheats were. I guess an old spot has been uncovered, in previous posts I've gotten old silver as well. The small wave ring might be silver. The flashlight works, has three levels of brightness and is rechargeable. Got my usual Hot Wheel, an old copper bracelet, a couple of earrings. It was an interesting day. 17 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26473-another-beach-hunt-that-brought-some-relics/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lodge Scent Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Just the coins alone kept you busy digging F350! Throw in the relics and the other stuff and you must have been non-stop. Good thing it's sand ! A pretty beach like that should have throngs of people. Did you kick them all out so you could take the photos? 😉 Lodge 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26473-another-beach-hunt-that-brought-some-relics/#findComment-279630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first Monday after schools opened, so everyone is busy. When I left there were some there, but not many. Monday is a great day to go to the beach. 🙂 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26473-another-beach-hunt-that-brought-some-relics/#findComment-279634 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWerk Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Any day looking at a view like that is worth the time spent even if you find nothing with a detector.. Nice times and nice finds make it even better. 2 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26473-another-beach-hunt-that-brought-some-relics/#findComment-279637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Nice haul again for you, the only thing you didn't find on this outing was the kitchen sink. You hit everything else very nicely with some really good saves. Good luck on your next hunt and stay safe out there. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26473-another-beach-hunt-that-brought-some-relics/#findComment-279659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks VL, Not for lack of trying, I did skip some stuff that sounded like the kitchen sink. 😅 A couple of the wheats were co-located with iron, but the tones gave them away, more high than low. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26473-another-beach-hunt-that-brought-some-relics/#findComment-279682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
