A couple friends called and wanted to go on a water hunt....uhh...showed up at the beach and overloaded with people at 7 am this morning! go to plan "B"....hit an old part of the original town that is no longer there...now in the water. So we just picked a spot and waded out. Within minutes my buddy got a Minie and so everybody slowed down and the finds started popping out. I found a few Minies and the normal Whatsits then my first plate shows up in my scoop...it was kinda hard doing the chicken dance in the water but I tried! Here are the pics of everything I pulled out today....except the 40 fishing weights. One is what appears to be a toy musket, a brass bracket of some sort, a plate style brass bracket with a hole for pivoting I guess, a plug and a brass . Thanks for looking and any help is appreciated.

The large bullets on left are 50 cals from WWII...this same area was a bombing and strafeing area during WWII.

Here is the link to the "What is it?" forum where I posted the rest of the pics.

Wow, I have water hunted for years and years and never found anything like your finds!!

Congratulations on your First US Plate. I have hunted some CW sites, but being a yankee, it's hard for me to hunt them all the time. I have never found a plate yet.

Soooooooooo A Big Congrats on that Plate!!

HH, Ringfinder
