You got out and had fun. That works!!

But really a Cobra Beach Magnet??
 

Love to know what the encrusted piece is.
When ya gonna bust it apart ?

Post some pics of it when you do.
 

just dissolve the shells with muriatic acid, avoid breakage
 

Great finds!....How much did you pay for parking?
 

Hi AARC, I will work on that encrusted piece later this week. I will post the picture once I do.
 

Hi seeker, Great advise will try that out and will post a picture after.
 

Hi Big, Thanks, I payed two dollars an hour but if you park at the bodwitch point park its free.
 

I love the crusted over stuff.

Never know what's inside.

Will a magnet attract what's inside?
 

Often it is easy to talk a vet or a dentist into an xray to see what is in the encrustation if you want to know.

The vets that do field portable xrays are the best, their machines are the most powerful.

On the Cobra, it is probably better than most detectors from 20 years ago, and look what we found then!
