Hey everyone,
Long time, no talk! My wife and I recently purchased a house and are neck deep in a remodel. Hunting twice a week is quickly turning into hunting twice a month.
Our weather has also been completely uncooperative with every weekend having significant rain since early May.
I have been able to get out a few times though so I thought I’d do a quick post to share what I’ve found!

A couple Saturdays ago I hit the beach with a couple friends and this panned out pretty well. Our first spot was a dud but the second spot coughed up a few keepers for me.
Highlights from that hunt include a silver bracelet, no date IHC, wheat penny and square hem weight.

Lucas (NoThisIsPatrick) and I got out briefly so he could put his new Equinox through its paces. We hit a well-hunted park and I was surprised to turn up a small handful of clad and an 8” deep tax token while we were there.

My buddy Phil and I met up to check out some beaches today. The first one was a three-mile hike to reach and unfortunately didn’t cough up any goodies. Thankfully we had time for a contingency plan.
I landed 3 pieces of silver; a 64-D GW, a 61-S Rosie and a mystery piece of melted silver. I also landed 3 wheats, part of an old button and an old, green glass bead.
This bead was found on a beach that was adjacent to a long gone Native American community. I know of other relics indicative of Western trade that have been found in the area. Do you think this could be a Native trade bead? Here are more close-ups.
Thanks for taking the time to read everyone and happy hunting!!
