Virgin Beach = Musket Balls,Silver Ring & Silver Coins, Silver Silverware, Ancho

Picked up Dad this morning with no exact place to hunt.. Weather was warming up and the tide was falling.... On the way to no where..... I stumbled upon a small beach that looked as if it was probably worked hard. Got out of the truck and found a dime on top... great way to start off with out the detector...LOLOLWe ended up spending over 4 hours of solid digs. Thereare just too many to point out but this beach has been passed by many times. Sometimes the best plans are to have no plans at all... I ended up with 7 Silver dimes mostly Merc's.. 3 Musket Balls and a pistol shot. 1 Tomback Button either pewter, or Silver not sure, but the shank is still attached and she is in fantastic shape.2 Silver handles from either spoons or forks,Part of a pocket watch, over 40 Wheaties from 1909 to 1958... 12 quarters, 20 dimes, 18 nickels, A sterling Ring, ( NO STONE ) A silver Quarter 1934 P , A lead soldier, A Zippo Lighter that has an anchor on it, too cool.. & Dad and I got a chance to spend yet another day together, I can only guess as to what he found....

Way cool ya'll killed it. My Dad was in to Md when I was a youngster, but they got divorced when i was 8 and now at 42 we finally got together after way to many years and he has Dementia but he told me of gold coins he found in Sanford way back when... I just hope my finds make him Proud, even though I barley knew him... :dontknow:

That is a bunch of old crusty finds. You found a forgotten beach. WTG. I am sure there is more, you need to go back.

That's a great haul. I think I'd definately hit it again. The lighter looks similiar to one I had when :icon_thumleft:I was in the Navy in the late 60's.
