It has been a while since I have been on the forum but after this week of high surf, I got out for a few days to hunt.
The first day was working the dry sand as the surf was too high. However, I did have a six car day, which is the most cars I have ever found in one hunt and a nice Mexican Silver Ring.

Then I went to a small beach that had about 2 feet of sand taken off of it. I probably found the most coins I have ever found in a 3 hour period and 2 small silver rings. My coin count is: 26 quarters, 21 nickles, 40 dimes and 86 pennies.

I figure the surf must have really dug deep to find these. They were too corroded to get a date off of either one.

Today, I went back to the small beach for 2 hours and found 24 quarters, 14 dimes, 8 nickles, and 49 pennies and 2 small silver charms.

I'd go back, what do you have to lose? You sure dug plenty of targets. Congrats on the total $$ haul and the bling. :occasion14:
 

Nice digs ! :occasion14:
 

Like that silver ring! Keep on Hammering!
 

Nice Finds.
Where is it I'll meet you there.
 

some good hunting Jonny! neat to see an IH and nice to see some erosion isn't it?
 

Nice beach haul.:icon_thumleft:
 

give me a p.m.
 

Good scooping...nice big silver ring.
 

Sweet Hunting - Congratulations!! :occasion14:
 

Wow! That was some good hunting! I love that big silver ring! I've never found close to 6 cars in one hunt and never found an IHP on the beach. I did find a 1945 wheat the last time I was in the water, it was a first for the water.
 

Very Cool! :notworthy:
Man I wish I was at the beach today!!
 

Great day out. Congrats on a monster coin day... more jewelry must be hiding out there!
 

Some impressive digging my friend!
Like that Mexican 925!
 

Some days......... those cars are everywhere...... like pennies. Nice nice silver ticket. From the looks of things ....... you might just get a few more days to detect.
 

any where ive ever gotten an IH penny at (Ive prob gotten 30-40 so far)
- at an old beach - I also got old gold and other goodies - I'd go back and hunt slower there
