Hit the beach this morning for an hour before going to the doctor's office. (retirement is golf, MD'ing and doctors, not necessarily in that order.) The storm (Barry) this week rearranged the whole beach. The power of water is amazing. I thought I had gone to the wrong beach. Mounds where there were none and valleys where there were mounds.
I didn't score anything exciting like spanish dubloons but I did find a couple of coins that excited me. The first was an Azerbaizan 3 Qapic (copic) copper coin and further down the beach a British modern penny. The rest were your normal clad in varying states of corrosion.
The beach gets quite a few international visitors but Azerbaizan? The Azerbaizan coin is smaller than a penny but thick and is clad around a magnetic center. The British penny is larger than a penny and seems to be solid copper. The penny is worth 19 cents and the 3 Qapic about 3 cents.
I wish our visitors would drop silver coins instead of copper ones. Here is the pictures.
