Couple of hours wet/dry hunting

[dewcon4414]

Its been awhile since i used the Explorer SE so i thought since i only had a couple of hours to hunt why get wet. The water and wind lately had made it cool and wavy.... but wouldnt you know it, it was like glass out there and i didnt bring the Xcal. I had noticed some high tide cuts the huge waves had made. Started walking and right away i hit the small bracelet marked Italy 925. I could see where someone had already hunted most of the beach by dragging their scoop so i figured nadda to day. Then i hit some coins.... i was digging to China 16 inches plus. Ended up with around $3 of really green crusted coins. As deep as they were i figured i might get a piece of silver but it didnt happen. I ended up with a small silver peace ring and heavy silver earring. The ring isnt marked and hit just above foil at about 8 inches so i thought i had a gold ring. Im certain its SS. The other piece looks like an old neckless. Notice the tiny circles at the bottom there were copper loops before i tumbled it which leads me to believe there were other items dangling off this main piece. No marking anywhere.

I took a careful look and it does appear to be a spinner. They are two distinct bans. Not sure i can get it to spin again but ive got it soaking. Lorraine... its a shame they cant loose both earrings lol... this would have been a really nice heavy pair. A month or so ago i found 3 COMPLETE sets. Someone must have taken them off so they didnt loose them.... lol that obviously didnt happen. Sadly all i can do is add it to my ARA pile.

Got that spinner going. Used a water hose then put it in a small vice and used a rag and pliers. Took a second then used the water hose to finish getting the tiny sand out. Sweet one to add to my collection. Wished they made them in gold lol.

Nice variety.....where did the most jewelery come from, the wet or the dry?

 

[dewcon4414]

Mostly the dry.... but i was digging down so deep on a few of the coins that water was seeping into the bottom. The ring was in the really wet sand about where one of the lower tide lines was. I was hunting some rather deep erosion that had happened a couple of months back that i keep thinking about doing but hadnt gotten around to. I have no idea how deep one would have to dig to find a silver coin in that area. I had my fingers crossed with the deep cut in the banks and as deep as i had to go. Silver on the beach around here is a tuff one.... or at least for me right now ive not found the spot. Beach hunting has a bigger learning curve that just grabbing a detector and hitting the beach im finding out.
