Caribbean Sea of Weeeee

Some finds from a trip during May 2016. Happy hunting!

Eroded Beach Silvers

There were some higher than usual tides this past week and I felt it would be an opportune time to scout out my local beach. Didn't take long to find a section where bucket-sized rocks were made visible after sand movement. That particular section of beach had eroded in the recent past, about a year ago, and I found several gold and silver jewelry pieces then. This time around it produced again, yet all the good finds turned out to be silver coins. I'm not complaining! Two silver Washingtons, three silver Rosies, and a Walking Liberty Half were the take after two consecutive early morning hunts. On the third morning (Friday) I returned and the area had been sanded in.

Morning 1: 2 Washingtons, 2 Rosies, Walking Liberty Half, Two Wheat Cents

Morning 1: Close Up, Walking Liberty Half Still Coated

Morning 2: Rosie, Stainless Pendant, Wheat Cent

Kennedy and a Ring

Made it to the beach yesterday morning and found a bit of a sweet spot. I dug a fair share of green clad, which indicates it has settles in the salty sand for a little while. My guess is six months to a year. No gold, or silver, yet I did come home with a pouch full of coins including a 1993 Kennedy half dollar and a man's titanium wedding band. Hope everyone has a pleasant weekend.

Rings Galore

My 2015 detecting season is off to an incredible start!  I've hit the beaches four times and managed to find at least one ring during three of the trips.  Here are ring totals so far: one titanium, two tungsten carbide, one silver and two gold.  One tungsten ring is not pictured.

Recent Keepers

I've been unable to detect much lately though I have managed to locate a few keepers. The 10K and tungsten carbide rings were found in the water.  Everything else came from two early 1900's house lots; an old clock winder, dateless Buffalo nickel, square holed Chinese coin and a few wheat cents.
