In the water that is
- have many from land hunts but got my firsts from saltwaters for me today
hit an old Cape Cod beach in the water this morning - have gotten a lot of silver here and old gold in the past
even though Ive gotten indian heads, a shield nickel and seated silver here ...did not expect these today
I was just hoping for modern silver - got a nice hit in deep water ...scooped down and saw a large disc in the bottom
was hoping it might be a half but it looked a little smaller - then thought it must be some sort of medal
gave it a swipe with my thumb and saw the head - which Ive seen many times on land hunts but never from the water
my first saltwater large cent - 1851
near by I got another coin and it was an 1861 indian head - then some recent silver
then I found what looked like a gold washer - thought it might be a brass washer of a recent fishing reel or something
my girlfriend looked at it when I got out and said - "It's stamped"...turns out to be stamped 10k
I worked around as tide started to come in - finding many bronze boat nails and some old lead
got into some rocks - another nice hit - see a blackish large coin in scoop - once again thought it might be a silver half
grabbed it and gave a rub - older style headed large cent - 1819 ...wow my first 2 water hunt large cents
was hoping to find some silver with dates like these - but no
I did get one more indian head - 1866 before I headed in
other coins
silver war nickel -1944P
silver Washington - 1951-S
mercs - 1939 & 1944
2 silver roosevelts
will get back in there and work harder next time - still think theres some more goodies out there
