We drove to Florida to visit my wife’s brother and his wife. I got parts of 5 different days to detect when we weren’t visiting. All in all 19.5 hours of detecting with the CZ21. The beach was really very quiet in spite of all the people that came to the beach. Most of the time it was high tide when I had a chance to detect. The “mother line” had a few coins, the edge of the dune had a few and there were a few in the path up to the dune walkovers. Occasionally I would find some in the rest of the beach. When I did get to detect the wet sand at low tide it was really empty. Last year the wet sand had a decent number of coins and tons of sinkers. This year I only found 2 sinkers and they were in the dry sand. I met a few other detectorists who were having the same poor luck I was. I did manage to think outside the box and find a few locations where there were some hot spots. I’m not saying where they are, you’ll have to figure that out for yourselves.
I did find some pop tabs, a decent number of bottle caps, some pieces of eaten up aluminum cans and a few aluminum foil wrappers. All together I found 319 coins including 3 foreign coins, with a face value of $20.77, a cool toy car, 2 cocoa beach squashed pennies, 2 sinkers, 2 dangling earrings, a kiddy ring, a silver ring, a silver earring, and a religious key fob.
The foreign coins are a Mexican 1 peso and a Brazilian 5 centavos and 25 centavos.
The silver ring has marcasite crystals. A nice looking little ring.
The silver earring looked like it was opal and diamonds. I tested the clear stones and they are white topaz. I had my jeweler friend check the opal and it is lab created. So it was not as good as I had hoped but it is still a nice little earring. The second picture is of 2 things that sounded exactly alike on the beach. I found a few of the shoe grommets and when I got the weak mid tone signal I thought it was another grommet so I had a nice surprise when the earring popped out.
So another good series of hunts with a good coin count, gas money, a few more silvers for the year and a cleaner beach than when I started. Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.
