First Silver

[buckmild1]

Got out to the beach today and found a nice 925 silver charm. My wife found the exact same one on the web for $12.00. The stones are CZ. I know its not much but it is my best find to date. It was the first signal I dug in the water and as usual the rest of the day was all junk. A bad day detecting is better than a good day at work. HH. Oh yeah the steel rod is a tooth off of the sand rake the beach uses. Second one I have found.

I'd run that sand rake for free if I could have everything it brought up

I always wonder what they get after raking. Today they had a machine that I have not seen before. It was a truck and it looked like a parking lot vacuum. They also had the two sand rakes on tractors going . There was a big volley ball tournament going on this weekend so I think they brought in the big guns. There must have been twelve dry sand THers going today. I was the only one in the wet sand. The weather is getting warmer and the crowds are getting bigger. Its gonna be a good summer. HH. Oh yeah Keith the Fisher is all I expected it to be and more. I will return it next winter to fisher and have them put a 10" coil in place of the 8". Unless I find a treasure to cover the cost of a second machine. That and a viable reason to satisfy the wife/money stretcher.

CHRIS.

I've wondered that for years. I think I saw the first sand cleaning rig about 30 years ago. It cleaned up everything for a good depth. I'll bet those early operators made a killing!

Remember back in the 80's when guys were building those one-man sand drags? They would drag them along the beach and the sand would filter through. I never owned one myself so I don't know if they were any good.

? ? Not much? It looks like much to me! If thats amber you might want to have it looked at. Real amber can sometimes bring big dollars. Very, very nice find! WTG!!?

I wish it was amber. I think its acrylic. My wife found the same charm online for $12. HH
