Trench on Beach Produces Silver
Went to the beach last Sunday looking for Diggummup. I couldn't find him, but I noticed they were digging a trench on the beach next to the boardwalk. They were putting in pipes for showers and lights, I guess, and a footing for a new wall. I hate finding clad, so I jumped in, hoping for something old. About a half hour produced one silver 1946 dime, a 1962 zip top.
A couple days later, I decided to go back at nite and try again when the workers were gone. In about an hour, I found 4 quarters, 10 silver dimes, and wheat pennies!
I was finding silver on every third hit! Not bad for an easy digging beach. This is the way MDing should always be, (I thought to myself.) I worked til it got dark. I wished the Ace 250 had a lit up screen.
I came back the next night, armed with a flashlight and camera, hoping to finish the job. I was too late. The trench was partially filled in. The next few hours produced only pennies and modern trash.
I went back last nite and worked the piles, but only found pennies.
Well here are the pics I took after the ditch was partially filled and my coins. It is obviously not a great find, but Ill take it.

It invigorates them and they move around more and stay out later.
