Wasn't sure which country I was hunting in with the coins found in dry sand today..

Also some silver showed up.



Hi:hello:

High tide again early morning, so it was another day of dry sand detecting...about 2 1/2 hrs.

Found some interesting coins from various nations...all in about a 12 foot square area.

Also a nice looking ( but was not to be ) "gold" child's bracelet.

Re: the silver earring; wasn't sure it was silver...looked "el cheapo" with some of the small stones missing; the tone was low-mid-tone and "scratchy", and unable to find the marking until at home with a loupe.

Here's some pics of yesterday's hunt and today's.


Also here are the metallic compositions of the various coins:

2 Centai-aluminum


Half Penny-copper

One Penny -Bronze

New Penny-Bronze

2 New Pence-Bronze

L-20-Bronzital ( Cu 92%; Al 6 %; Ni 2 %)


Thanks for looking

Lorraine

I hunted a beach here in Fl., one time. I found a silver Canadian coin & an early 1900 English coin within a few feet of each other. Sold both on E Bay within a week !! LOL
