We headed for the Texas coast this past week thinking we would hunt during tropical storm Harvey...didn't know it was going to turn into a cat 4 hurricane. We hunted Thursday night before running back to Fort Worth. One of the beaches we hunted had been replenished in the last 3 years. Everything we found were recent drops. I came across a coin line of mostly quarters and dug this beefy brass spike among them. We hunted here 3 years ago and the beach was practically non existent. Its wider now than I've ever seen it.
I always assumed they pump sand onto the beach from out in gulf to replenish it. Could they have pumped this in from the gulf? Maybe dredged through a shipwreck? It looks old to me. Too old to have been dropped in the past three years with all of the quarters?
Anybody recognize this as older ship parts? Its about 2" long. The head is about the size of a nickel and fairly thin.
