A Patch Of Black Sand Full Of Dimes.

[wildcarrot]

We've had some stormy weather lately along with lower tides. I found a spot late Monday afternoon that had a lot of black sand showing. Hunted until sunset in a small area. I counted up (70) dimes in the findings.
I headed back last night to the same area and resumed digging dimes immediately. Dug another (105) dimes for a total of (175) from basically the same little patch.

I wonder why this seems to happen?... the dimes accumulating in one area. A friend told the story of finding (400) dimes in one hunt at the very same spot?
Good Luck Out There

Great discovery. One thought-provoking find. Possibly a robbery and they chucked the change and kept the paper money.

You are the clad dime champion of the world ,when that many dimes are found the same day.

Crazy

It has everything to do with weight and size and tides, currents and wind. The beach is a natural sifter of metalic objects and stones. It arranges them by specific gravity. Ie, heavier items in one concentrated location and lighter items in other locations.
most of your finds are relative light. Another area might produce lead weights and heavy gold jewelry.

ptf that's a great response to the question of why the dimes accumulate in pockets. Now all I have to do is find the area where the gold is hiding

I'm not a beach hunter but I read its called a glory hole & objects of the same size & weight are disposed in the same area by the tide action.

Must be a pocket full of gold rings out there somewhere!
