Thought everyone would be interested in what a VIRGIN (never been detected) beach has in store.
This tiny beach (50 ft. long) was located by me 2 months ago. It had been in operation from 1945 to 1950 as a Club. Then was shut down. Detecting was NOT easy as I had to contend with 6 to 12 inches of muck and weeds before I hit beach sand.
There are no coins dated later than 1950. Lots of mercs and buffalo nickels and Standing Liberty quarters. All dimes and quarters are silver.
It's been a long time (20 years) since I've had the opportunity to hit a never detected beach. Back in the 60's and 70's, finds like this were common!!!!!!!!!!

I've detected this area 9 times for a total of 36 hours.
Here are the pics. Enjoy.
