Got out early this morning for about 4 hours. This beach has been hunted many times over the years. I thought I would try the Equinox 600 on beach mode 1 this time. The last time I was here I got a beautiful 14kt. gold ring using beach mode 2. I found lots of junk including an old car radio, a stearing box, an old motor cycle seat frame, lots of big and heavy iron nuts and bolts , lots of pull tabs and bottle caps and broken pieces of glass all of which I left in the garbage bin on my way out. I found when using beach mode 1 on dry sand it seems to hit all sorts of coins more than it does in beach mode 2. Although I know beach 2 is for surf and wet sand. Here are my finds for the day. $7.89 in clad, railroad spike, 2 marbles , 2 sinkers, silver plated fork, 1 copper piece that i think may have been around the top of a wine bottle (maybe) and another penny size piece of copper that looks the same on both sides no writing on it anywhere. the copper piece that looks like a bra has two horizontal flowers in the middle. Oh and I destroyed my sand scoop from kicking it so much. Im looking for a bigger and better one anyway. thanks for looking and HH.

You sure the bra thing is copper and not silver? Nice hunting, Hawks!
 

Hey xr7ater you got me thinking about it now. No green patina so maybe it’s not copper.
 

cdickrun64 the silver 1942 dime is worth about buck and a quarter. Didn’t even notice it till you told me. Thanks
 

Well done sir. You scored a silver coin and didn’t even know it. That’s awesome. The bra piece looks smooth, a quick toothbrushing with baking soda and water will make it shine, if it’s silver.

Best of luck to you.
 

You pulled a lot of plunder there mate, and nothing to be frustrated about! Well done - cheers to you! :occasion14:
 

Congratualtions on the coin finds! :occasion14:
 

Haven't hunted the water in a long time. But, I remember how some beaches change constantly. Always felt like I had a good chance to find at them.

Nice variety!
 

That’s a nice amount of clad. Congrats
 

The old clear glass marble is a nice find, sometimes the 'eye ball' finds are better then what the detector finds! :occasion14:
