Todays Finds at the Beach

I did a two hour hunt, and I came up with 172 yen, or about $2. I also found a token with the US seal on both sides, which was pretty cool. Enjoy the pics and HH.

I'm sure the Yen add up after a while.

The current rate the BX here at Kadena was advertising was 84:1

It needs to get back closer to 100. My rent is killing me

Cool finds How do the "Yen" ring up on your detector? Do they come across as dimes, pennies, quarters, pull tabs

Nice FindS!
gotta say that's one of the oddest 'US Seals' Ive seen on your token.
Keep em Comin!

Great question! I have an Ace 250. 500 yen reads up between penny and pulltab, 100 yen reads up as nickel (Not a surprise because the coin is almost the same composition as a US nickel) 50 yen reads up as a nickel again, exactly the same alloy as the 100 yen. 10 yen (By far the most common of all of the coins that I find) rings up as a dime. 5 yen reads up as a penny, and 1 yen as a pulltab/dime. 1 yen coins are 100% aluminium. But keep in mind that these readings are mainly bench-test readings. Due to the high mineralization in the ground, the readings can be way off. Yesterday, a 10 yen was reading up as iron and dime.
