I call it a fun hunt cause I had no great expectations - hit off of Rev War fort -
it was a popular early 1900s spot for swimming
few swim there now - bottom is rocky and not ideal (ive gotten a few newer coins but never any new gold or silver)
- it is popular for fishing too
been hammered by many over the years but I go out at low farther than most here
unlike some - I like finding musket balls here - I consider them relics (lot of others find them annoying)- don't get me wrong
like most would like to find gold and silver - which ive done okay here too - but if
I cant get those - would rather dig musketballs than trash - most of them are a foot to 2 feet down
and test your skill - deep ones are faint and real deep ones will go off as a low tone but I know to dig
anyways - not much junk here - once you make first scoop - they will change to a high tone
I did not bring my floating sifter and lost a few pistol=small calib. balls that fell thru scoop - normally I would drop down and pluck
but had my 7mm shorty suit on and it is too buoyant to stay down -
so I'm out real far and then got a louder shallower hit - scoop and was surprised to find mystery caked coin in my scoop - 95%
sure its a silver half - super encrusted - found it way out in middle of musketball patch - little later found the Bulava watch
another surprise - as tide came in I worked around a large rocky area - usually only get sinkers in them - really tough scooping
but did pull out a few musketballs too and then got 2 silver dimes - one is a merc - the other super crusted
viz was really bad here too - could not see my coil or where I had been but had fun - nice to cool off and get some exercise
