I revisited an old hotel site that produced great finds in the past for me. This time i stuck mostly to the ocean shoreline and found some relics plus 11 large coopers and 7 silvers. It’s a shame all the damage waves and salt does to the finds. The big surprise of the day and a bucket lister for me was finding a 1889 Canadian quarter. It’s a key date and the lowest mintage of the series. Only 66,324 coins were produced. I’m very lucky this one didn’t get destroyed like most of the rest and is still complete with plenty of detail. Thanks for looking! 🤩👍

You are doing OUTSTANDING :) KEEP IT UP !!!
 

Fantastic finds, especially the quarter. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations!
 

Awesome recoveries. That quarter is killer, and liking the lead anchor? also, congrats!
The anchor when I first dig it out I thought was just molten lead chunks but then seen the anchor shape. Appears to crudely hand made. Makes it more unique I think. 😁
 

I revisited an old hotel site that produced great finds in the past for me. This time i stuck mostly to the ocean shoreline and found some relics plus 11 large coopers and 7 silvers. It’s a shame all the damage waves and salt does to the finds. The big surprise of the day and a bucket lister for me was finding a 1889 Canadian quarter. It’s a key date and the lowest mintage of the series. Only 66,324 coins were produced. I’m very lucky this one didn’t get destroyed like most of the rest and is still complete with plenty of detail.

Dream finds! Good job.

Very Nice!!!! Congrats!!!!
 

If the old hotel site still has that many silvers I'd be working it on a regular basis.
Very nice and thanks for sharing.
 

You have a knack for finding the hardest ones out there to actually find above and below the ground
well done my friend
Thanks. Hope to get out with you guys someday! 😁
