Mark and I did some research on Sunday and came up with a beach we thought might be good! Man were we right. We hunted from 7:30 to 3 on Monday, and together we dug 51 silver coins, 4 gold rings, over 80 wheat's, 6 buffalo's, 2 V nickles, 1 Indian and a dozen silver items,
What a day!

My take for Monday.
21 silver coins. 1 franklyn half, 7 washington qtrs, 1 st lib qtr, 3 rosies, 9 mercs,1 barber dime, 4 buffs and about 35 wheats.
14K 1/2 ct Diamond with 15 chips custom made ring
silver boy scout ring, 2 other silver rings and a silver medalion
pic 1 my silver Tuesday
Pic 2 my silver Monday
Pic 3 My silver and gold from Monday
pic 4 marks find from Monday, 30 silver coins, 3 gold rings and some silver
Pic 5 marks finds from Tuesday, 14 silver coins, 1 gold ring and 6 silver rings
pic 6 my silver and gold for Tuesday

Today we went back and Killed it again.
We met at 6 am and hunted until 11, so 5 hours detecting. Wheats and silver started right away with lots of silver jewelry.
I ended the hunt with 1 gold ring 10k initial ring 0.6g, 23 silver coins- 8 wash qtrs, 7 rosies, 5 mercs and 3 war nickles plus 3 buffs and a V nickle. I also got 4 silver rings a 14K gold filled ring.

I actually got more silver then him today! Even a blind squirrel gets an acorn now and again. LOL
Great days!

Killer dig! I wish I was into detecting in 82. I was stationed in Okinawa and went to many small out of the way beaches where I never saw anyone. I sure wish i could have found stuff like this on those beaches.
