Went to a couple of RI beaches to search for left overs - spots had been hit by locals pretty good
Most of my finds were whispers down deep or under rocks as big as your head. - I worked for every good target I got
Thurs. I hit in heavy rock area -
I worked an area of rocks that was in a large pool of water
figured less hunters would battle it. I was in ankle to just below my knees at low tide
after I finally got a few wheats - I got a 1892 barber dime - then I got skeleton key and a few indian heads
oldest is 1880 - then saw "one dime" on back of another dime as was surprised it is seated - got a few old beach tags which are always a good sign

Fri. I went to another spot that I heard had given up a fair amount of silver and a few nice rings
once again I was going for leftovers - I hunted with cz21 in all metal and was going for whispers
was surprised at amount of coins I got - some newer quarters were down close to 2 ft
end of the day - batteries almost dead and so was I - I finally got in a small zone where I was
getting old coins - wheats and silver - ended up with 6 sil.dimes, a buffalo and a few pieces of sil. jewelry
