Camping in Big Sur

[armchairacer]

Took a camping trip in Big Sur Ca. I found several pennies and dimes on our campsite. I havent done MD much, so this served as good practice. I was able to discern coins from trash. We went to carmel beach were I was able to find more pennies and other assorted coins. Nothing very interesting or old, but while visiting Andrew Molero Beach I found a large coin. I recognized the pic of a queen on it. I knew it wasnt US. I couldnt make out the date without my glasses on, so I had my son read the date. 2013 Canadian. At which point I realized taking my glasses on would have been helpful. The trip was great practice. I brought some sand from the beaches for my tumbler ( I dont think anyone will miss it). Carmel beach has fine sand for polishing, I got more coarse sand from Carmel River Beach. I did happen to find Iron pieces from one of the beaches that I need to clean to try and find what they are. All in all any vacation where you can MD and listen to the ocean at the same time Priceless.

Found my first 100 peso coin at Carmel beach back in the 80's.

Keep practicing. Dig trash too!
