Still living at the beach this week. We went back to the site where the large 3-diamond ring was lost and where my brother found the really nice ring the other day.(http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?action=view;topic=139927.0;)
We had one heck of a storm here this morning with almost 3 inches of rain!!! The tide was going out and the waves were pounding the beach. I was hunting perpendicular to the water, working a search pattern from the dunes to as far as the waves would allow me. I was following a wave out when I got a really good signal. It read 7 inches. I started digging quickly as the next wave was getting ready to come in. Of course I didn't get to my target before the wave came in, chased me up the beach, and filled my hole with water and sand. Three more times to the hole between waves and digging like crazy and I saw a glimmer of what I thought for about a thousandth of second was a gold bar. I quickly grabbed it as the next wave was fast approaching. I took off up to the dry sand, laughing the whole way.
I have found a LOT of stuff but this is one of the most unique ones.
Please feel free to take a guess at what you think it is. I have included a picture of the bottom as well, there aren't any attachment points so I have no idea what it is, other than a door knocker to the Captains Quarters on a Pirate Ship!!!!
