Well I Got A Euro Anyway

[F350Platinum]

I had hoped after Labor Day weekend that my local beach would have a decent amount of drops, it usually does. There was a big craft fair there as well. Chase came down to join me, getting there early is good but someone had already detected it the day before, there are people that leave a noticeable pattern.

Sometimes the river is not so great, glad I didn't go up there the next day because it looked like this:

3 foot waves and strong current. No going in there!

Got there before 7, beautiful day but windy. The river was pretty choppy, and I wasn't prepared to go in it, so I hunted all the usual spots. There is a section there that produces some old coins at low tide, and Chase did rather well. He might post his own or add it here. I got a couple of old wheats, one without a discernible date and one in great shape, a 1946 D.

As usual I ended up with about 40 coins, even a slap in the face 1965 quarter 🤣

Got the usual Hot Wheels and a junk toe ring.

My find of the day was a 2002 Euro, Chase got one too. Mine is minted in Italy.

I've never found a Euro before, not bad, they're worth US $1.11 right now.

They only made about 965 million of them. 🙄

It wasn't a spectacular hunt but it was fun to have a detecting buddy along, I stayed a little longer than he did but left when the beach filled up.

The trash did not outnumber the finds so that was good.

The season is winding down, got another week long beach trip coming up, I'll be getting ready for that.

Never found one so that may be why 🤔 this one was in the dry not far from where Chase found his. The river is brackish and does eat coins but not at the rate or consistency the ocean would. Got the '46 D in the wash. ~80 years later it still looks good!

I haven't got half as many toy cars as I did last year, and not much time left to catch up 🤣

With the 13" coil and no antenna, I'm more "spearfishing" than anything, but I still find stuff. 😎

I live in Europe, my currency is Euro. Euro coins doesn´t dissolve in salt water, fortunately 🤑. The only thing is that cent coins gets corroed very easily.

Haha, just like our cents made of copper plated zinc. 🤣 Gone in days.

Another fine hunt in any case for you, a good haul of items and some fun searching for them.

Your car lot is growing again this year, and I would like to know what do you do with all of them.

I send a lot of the ones I find to schools near me, so that the Kindergarten kids have something to play with.

Seems like they always ask for more each year.

Thanks RVP,

The coin jars are filling up again anyway, 4 trips and around 200 coins. 🙂

I suppose I should be saving all the lead but I don't, when I see someone fishing I give them away.

Thanks VL,

The grandkids have right of first refusal on the toys, if I encounter a random nice kid on the beach I'll give them away. The nice ones are the kids that don't follow or get in the way. 😬 It pains me a bit to find them in great shape because I think of the poor kid that left them.
