One of my best metal detecting days of my Life! found 3 half penny's at the Bay! it was a old Harbour from the 1600's to present day! It was a busy Port! spent 6 hrs at the beach. also finding a 14K Ring!! and some clad! Here's the picture. and also a 1963 silver quarter! One of the dates on the half penny is 1734. i don't know about the other's. i was kinda surprised pulling out such halfpenny's out of the beach. i thought it was impossible to find them on a beach. i thought it would deteriote. but 1 of the halfpenny has a full visible date and face and words! And also a possible Trade point. and also a Arrow Head. Quite a Day!

Congrats on finding the half pennies.

Congradulation on your recent finds. I would be pounding that section of Beach. The Gold Ring has taken a Beating from the Sand, so you know the area is old. Keep us informed. Goldnugget-Charlotte.N.C.

I like the salt shoreline for many reasons but condition is not one of them. But some will beat the odds, especially when you dig the silver. :thumbsup:
