Just a few common goodies.

[Mat in MA]

[size=14pt]I went to a local fresh water beach with my Wader to see what was there. I only found $.72 in change, four 'beaver tail' pull tabs (boy those sure sound like good rings on the Wader).

Also found a common pull tab and an older pull tab and a bottle cap. Interesting find was the door catch with fishing line on it, and tied on very well too. It looks like someone used it for a sinker.

The interesting thing about the coins I found was that there were two nickels one dated 1983 and the other 1985.

A 1999 dime and a 1972d penny. The oldest coin is a 1965 quarter.

Not bad for an hours fun. By the dates on these coins it looks like no one has ever detected there before. I only did about 75% of the beach, so I'll have to get back and do the remainder. If it gets warm enough again I just make go in the water otherwise I'll have to wait until next year.

Well you found more clad than me! WTG Now which one of us is going to find something good for a change? Hmmmmm?

To be honest, the coins you dug may have dates from decades ago, but they are still common coins in circulation today. Either way, you had fun and found some goodies, which is what this is all about

my first choice would be the water, do the beach in your spare time after you have completed the water, if the water is cool, many dive shops or surfing outfits, sell off their rental wet suits etc this time of year, being an inland lake and in Maine, you should be able to hit that water till Nov. I have water hunted just over from you, in Quebec in late Sept & early Oct on holidays and a wet suit was more than sufficient for the water temp.
