Hunted the wet sand today...

[Whydah]

Got out today finally after being snowed in and very sick with the flu... I'm still coughing a lot but was able to get to the beach and smell that nice salt air....First area of the beach yeilded a quarter and a dime...Off to spot number 2... Rite a way I was getting greenies, so I knew I was onto something... I made a grid area and stuck with it... Soon I foun myself a junk ring with Alaska on the face... I kept moving along and finding quarters after quarters... I love quarters...lolol.... I managed a sterling (broken) ear ring with a small heart attached to it... a few minutes later I found another ring that said Aloha on it...Cool now I have 2 states in my pocket and 48 more to go...I also found what appears to be maybe an Urn ? it was empty so I am not realy sure... very heavy and has fake diamonds all over it... Maybe it was a bottle of some type that held perfum? any ideas... Thanks for looking and happy hunting.... See you all down south at the hunt....

Nice finds, I am very curious as well on what that is. Good luck next time.

Cool finds Wydah... I have no clue what the urn looking thing is... my first thought prior to looking at all the pictures was it being a handle for a fire poker... until I saw it had a cap to it.... very ornate... could be interesting. Someone out there will know and I'm curious to see what they come up with on this one!

I am being told that it may have held perfum or smelling salts for woman who didn't like the smell of swill as they walked by on the streets back in the day... Possibly dates from the 20's?
