Went to Long Beach, CA, early today for a few hours. They are moving a lot of sand around in this one area, so I will be back there again tomorrow. At one point this morning, I was following a big dozer like I was attached to it. He did leave a small wake of clad.
I was wandering around in the middle of the beach and was finding Clad, Navy Memorial Pin, Key, Token, and Ear Ring. I headed toward the towel line and found an older looking Sinker, Cig Lighter for the "no cigar", a Ring that looks like it has a piece of Rock Candy stuck in it.
I re-ground balanced and scanned in the slop area with black iron sand, found a penny in all that iron noise, got tired of that noise, I refused to turn the sensitivity down, and headed to toward a lonely Lifeguard Tower.
Found a recent pocket spill, AND THEN within a few feet from a LG Tower, I scooped a HUGE HEAVY CHAIN that got my heart moving and just put it in my pocket. Then within a couple of feet from the chain, I found what appeared to be some sort of I.D. with chain. Since I didn't have my reading glasses with me to see any hallmarks on the chain or what kind of I.D./Dog Tag thing it was, I kept on scanning thinking about that chain the whole time. Then I hit another ring, and this ring was about 15 feet from the LD Tower. This ring looks like it had a lot of work that went in to it with a big amber jewel in it, but it had green corrosion showing.
So after I got home, the big chain did not have any markings on it, didn't test for any precious metal, so I figure that it must be stainless, and both rings are costume.
BUT! The Med I.D. Tag has a Name, Phone Number with a 570 area code which is in PA, so this guy is far from home. It also says AB POS (blood type I assume) and NO PREF (I assume is no preference for something)
Anyway, I will call the phone number later and ask him if he lost anything else that day. Since the big chain and Med I.D. Tag were within a couple feet from each other, I believe he lost both at the same time.
So we'll see, a possible return from something lost in CA, returned to PA.
Good Hunting to All this Weekend, except for you people that hunt seasonally with a that cold and crap weather.

Beautiful Morning mid 50's, you can see Belmont Pier in the background if you double enlarge the pic
