Beach & Shallow Water Hunting
Was able to get out today at a beach that I have hunted quite a few times in the past... A lot of the areas were closed from the Hurricane, but I managed to squeeze my truck in a small area that just fit.... Got to swinging and every target was coin after coin today. Not much in the way of jewelry or junk... a few pieces of silver here and there... there were a few others swinging there too... I went out far on the mud flat to get away from the other guys and got a loud hit and dug a quarter... checked the hole and got a VERY LOW tone.... could it be a ring? Hmmmmm out pops this little piece of history from 1851.....WOW.... I am on cloud nine.... 42 years of hunting and this was a first for me today.... There is hope that there are still some goodies to be found.... This is a special beach to me this year... I have found a few diamond rings here too this season.... Thanks for looking and I can't wait till tomorrow.... Thank You Sandy from the bottom of my heart..... for the erosion that you gave us up here in Mass... 1 Dollar Gold Coin (1).webp1 Dollar Gold Coin (2).webpI think that it may be a Charlotte NC coin

Wow, what an amazing find, congrats big time! I can't believe the contrast in the pics of that little sucker on top of all that clad!, sweet photos! Congrats on the banner!!!!!!!!
 

Wow! What a beautiful coin. It is in awesome condition. I wish circulated coins today were still made from materials that endure...

Also, those nicks look old, They don't look like they were caused by you during retrieval.

cheers,
