hey guys, the family and I went to the beach for a day just to get away and enjoy the nice weather, this is my total take from about 3 total hrs detecting, 2.62 clad and the hottest blingiest earing you ever laid eyes on lol, I thought the small baseball cap pendant was silver but it had rust on it so thats a no, definately a much needed relaxing day on the beach, thanks for looking and HH

I've always had luck under the piers next to Bally's and up by the Taj Mahal. Lots of dropped coins from the boardwalk/park up above. But hey you had a good day and that's all that matters..............Rich

Wild Bling!Your baseball cap pendant could actually be silver if what's on it is merely a layer or glob of iron rather than actual corrosion of the pendant. Some of the beaches I detect have many big hunks of iron under the sand, and the iron leaches out into the sand, apparently becoming "liquid" for a while. Last week I dug a gold-color ring on such an iron-infested beach. Much of my ring was covered with thin "rusty" brown iron film, which at first made me assume my ring was a ring of slightly-corroded junk metal. Then, recalling that refined gold probably doesn't interact with iron, I tried chipping a little piece of the "corrosion" off and viola! Eventually I chipped all the "corrosion" off, leaving a gorgeous 9-gram 14k gold ring, which has been verified by a jeweler's acid testing. I realize silver does interact with more metals than gold does, but unless you see the silver actually eaten into by another metal, the "corrosion" may be just a film or hunk of iron adhering to actual silver. Sorry for so much blab, but I don't want anybody to discard as junk metal their items that may be precious metals. In my case, I would've been throwing $250 worth of gorgeous gold into the trashcan. HAVE FUN! Andi
