Another "Bad day at Black Rlock"...I couldn't believe my eyes on this strange find...

Hi:hello:

Guess I have to head down south to find some gorgeous "goodies"....nothing up this end of the coast for me these days. :icon_scratch:

Yesterday an F-15 Eagle flew out of the sand and into my scoop..today:BangHead: :rolleyes:

Hunted wet sand today, and along the way I heard this enormously loud sound, so I started diggin' and diggin'..and finally about 18 " deep I see this hideous thing staring up at me from the hole!

I suppose at one time this serrated knife was quite an eye-catching specimen, but I tell you ...my heart can't take surprises like this one!:laughing7:

It fits really well in one's hand with an index finger under the "claws" of one side, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th fingers under the "claws " of the other side.

It weighs in at one lb...heavy thing.

One of the claws was broken off when I retrieved the item; as I rechecked the hole, I heard another loud sound...and there was the claw piece.


One ray of sunshine....on the way back to the car, I found a "pocket spill" of about 35 coins..also deep..about 12" in the dry sand.

"Wheatie" is a 1951 "d".

Good luck to everyone out there....we'll see what tomorrow brings; gotta get back to those rocky areas.

Here's a couple of pics ( including this item as advertised on the Internet, and also here is a link to its description:

Thanks for looking

Lorraine

I was hoping at least that the "toenails" were gold, but I think they are just coated with some kind of junk gold-looking material.

That knife looks like something a troll might carry. :laughing7: Just saying....some of the finds you've made lately are pretty, "out there". Would those rocks happen to be in the shape of a temple of some sort? :laughing7:
