The beaches in Florida are renourished so much that is is very seldom that we get down to where the older coins are. But after the storms a couple weeks ago, we had about a 4 ft. cut on the beach with lots of rocks showing, which really got me excited. This is 3 days of detecting for only about 3 hours each day.

Congrats! Huge silver day! Wish I could help with the medal. Do you think it is ORI?
 

Nice work baywalker. Gotta luv mother nature. Sweet salty silver.
 

Super hunt - Congratulations! :occasion14:
 

CA is getting pounded by storms right now. I'm chomping at the bit to get out there! Makes me wish I had a rain suit, I would hit it today!
 

What a great hunt.
 

Wow. You had a fun time. I am going to try and hit the beach this weekend but we had 3 feet of snow this week with monster tides, so hopefully the road to the beach has been plowed.
 

Wow Jonnie that is awesome!! call me the next time you are going! lol Would love to have a hunt like that!
 

I really never know when I can go but I will call the next time
 

Great job. Love the stuff and silver is always COOL. Surprised no gold...
 

Nice going! The winds and rips have been at it this week for sure.
 

Bingo! I love seeing/reading beach storm erosion results !
 

Congratulations on the oldies. Very nice.
 

Johnnie...... i know you are a very busy guy, so if you'd just tell me where you are hunting i wont bother you to work out your schedule.:laughing7: JK.....im pretty certain i know where you were swinging..... i hit that area once in awhile myself and if the tide is right can pull some old stuff. GREAT GREAT hunt.

Look's fun !
As said , a Great Clean up & Silver to.
 

Nice finds! I was on the west coast of a Florida Bradenton and Panama City beach during week of 02-05-17 thru 02-10-17 and had no luck as the beaches seemed clean and sanded in. Was this on the east coast of a Florida?
