The beaches in Florida are renourished so much that is is very seldom that we get down to where the older coins are. But after the storms a couple weeks ago, we had about a 4 ft. cut on the beach with lots of rocks showing, which really got me excited. This is 3 days of detecting for only about 3 hours each day.

No I am on the west coast
Nice finds! I was on the west coast of a Florida Bradenton and Panama City beach during week of 02-05-17 thru 02-10-17 and had no luck as the beaches seemed clean and sanded in. Was this on the east coast of a Florida?

I figured those storms would rustle up some goodies on the beaches....but to pull led silver?...and an SLQ....that's just sick!
I got an old lady neighbor who lost her class ring on Ft Myers beach, like 1955.... I told her it was long gone, but now, I'm not so sure!
