BEACH 1
We made our usual spring trip to the beach. It was windy and colder than normal. The spring has been a cold and wet one so not much activity on any of the beaches to leave stuff for me to find. The good thing is when the beach doesnāt produce I know spots off the beach that are usually productive.
At Bethany Beach the beach restoration of last year is mostly washed out to sea again so not much beach to detect. The beach itself was very quiet, not even iron. The dune walkovers did produce a few coins. The little town park had a few spots I havenāt covered before and also produced a few coins. The bulk of my finds for Bethany came from locations off the beach I will not disclose for obvious reasons.
In 2 days I spent 10.5 hours swingin the CZ21 and found 170 coins with a a face value of $19.62, some jewelry, toys, a fake cob coin, some metal tags, a little WW2 ordinance, a few aluminum cans, foil and tabs.
The cladaugh ring and an earring are silver so that started the trip off right.
Not much ordinance this trip. One piece of 40mm traveling band and 4 pieces of 20mm was all this trip. Not like the piles I found in the fall right after the beach restoration. The fake cob is a kidās sovereign sold in the local shops. Over the years I have found quite a few of them.
BEACH 2
I spent 2 days at Rehoboth Beach checking out the beach and covering some areas off the beach that I thought might be productive. The beach was weird and for the most part very very quiet. I did hit on one line in a small section of the beach that produced about $3 in change, mostly quarters (3 in one hole 6 in another some singles and a dime and penny or 2). The off the beach areas produced a lot of pennies, a little foil and some jewelry.
In 8 hours of swingin the CZ21 (4 on the beach and 4 off the beach) I found 71 coins with a face value of $6.28, jewelry, pieces of WW2 ordinance, a little foil and 4 tabs.
2 of the rings and a star earring are silver. The stones in the one ring are diamonds. I was sure even before I tested. The main stone has a large setting and a small stone. This is to make the stone look bigger. They donāt go to that much trouble for a cz because they are so cheap. There are 24 teny tiny diamonds in the band and a biggger, but still small, diamond in the main setting. The second ring has stars cut out of it and unfortunately somewhere along the line it has been crushed. It can be repaired, but Iām not sure I want to go to all the trouble. I can just add it to the scrap pile.
BEACH 3
I did most of the hot spots in Ocean city while I was down for my brotherās surgery. We did have a nice day or 2 since then so I decided to revisit a few of them and try some other spots hoping for some luck.
I spent 4.5 hours swingin the CZ21 on a very quiet beach. I covered a lot of territory and my shoulder was really sore from all the swingin by the time I was done. I did manage to get my coil over a few hot spots and spills so I ended up with 70 coins with a face value of $5.88, a fishing swivel spill (from the Kite Loft, used on the end of the kite string), some jewelry, a foreign coin, a modern cuff link, 2 squashed pennies, a cheapie carabiner, a few tabs, foil and some aluminum fence wire.
The ring is marked and has a registration number inside with 1.0 ct. I thought at first it was a diamond, but I have never seen that big a diamond in a silver ring. Small diamonds all the time, but not a big one. After a little research I found out it was a 1 carat moissanite stone worth about $15-$20. It is a really nice looking ring. There is a small heart incorporated into the setting for the stone.
The foreign coin is from the Kingdom of Bahrain. This is the first coin I have ever found from there. It is a 2010 50 fils, about the size of a nickel and worth about 5 cents in USD.
NON DETECTOR FINDS
I did find some pennies and dimes walking around parking lots and shops. There was a wheatie in a parking lot, a 1956. Another wheatie from grandpaās change jar the kids took to the bank.
Iām winding down my year with only a few days left before I end my 22nd year of detecting. The beach trip was a nice success. In 5 days with 23 hours of swingin I found 311 coins with a face value of $31.78, 6 silvers (one with ice), 8 rings and ONLY 15 CAN TABS. Thanks for looking, stay safe, good luck and may your coil lead you to good things.
