may/09 beach finds

[wwwtimmcp]

I have been getting out for short hunts but the water is still pretty cold. I did manage to get a few keepers along with my usual sinker finds. I gathered up over 5lbs of sinkers in one day and another 3-4lbs the next. the spoon has e.p.n.s. hammered silver on it the copper plate appears to be from a clock of some sort. 2 .303 british enfield cases and 1 loaded .357 round. $1.66 in modern coinage and a first for me an 1888 "V" nickle.

thanks for looking and happy hunting to all.

WTG on them there finds. Post a close up of the 1888 V nickel. That is a semi-key date....actually almost all the 1880s and 1890s V nickels are.

Looks like some good beach hunting going on there! If the lead prices ever come up you're in good shape thus far!


I really like the stainless knife...

EPNS is = Electro plated nickle silver (in case you were wondering)

here's a closeup of the front and back. this beach has absolutely amazed me with finds. if lead goes up I'll retire. I've dug up over 160 lbs just from this beach alone.

Pics are pretty blurry, but the V nickel looks to be in pretty good shape.

How deep was that V nickle?? Don't find them everyday at the beach. Nice semi-key date

v nickle was only a few inches deep, but the beach is very rocky.
