First Pocket Spill

[Scratch]

It was 74 degrees F and windy this morning when I got to Fort Island Beach around 09:30. The fog thickened the whole time I was there and the overcast turned the street lights back on. The beach had been 'groomed' by the parks crew with a big sand rake pulled behind a tractor. That made it easy to see by the footprints that someone else had beat me there and pretty methodically worked the west end. I went all the way to the very edge of the sand/grass and worked my way to the water. I rang up the Nederlands nickel someone had drilled for a pendant or charm. Within fifteen minutes I had a good signal with undertones like I hadn't heard before. Under about six inches of sand I uncovered a penny, a dime, another penny then another, then a quarter and another dime. My first pocket spill! Nothing momentous, but I got a grin from it.
Well, I finally taught the Excalibur to find coins.
Later I found the odd bits I call 'fentoozlers'.

That's the only upside to foul weather on the beach. A few people pulled up and parked in the lot. Not one got out of their vehicle. The air was so saturated it condensed on the excal. Nice to have a detector that shrugs it off.

I'm just curious, but what was odd about the two cents in the lower left-hand corner?

Nothing really. I guess I could have labeled them 'singletons' instead. I found them in separate spots. As in 'an odd cent here and there'.

Ahh, okay, I gotcha! I wasn't reading that right. Nice finds!
