After hearing about Max's day out by the "cave" I headed out at low tide and ran into 4 others out there hitting the same areas. Guru, fedexjim, Gary and Big Scoop Rich. The work crews were putting in overtime to complete the project by labor day (spoke to one of the workers). I didn't have much luck during the morning hunt but I planned on returing later in the day when the crews had removed another pile of debris from the old bulkheads they were removing. The last patch (which I missed out on) was the one that was giving up the silver for some of the other guys and I hoped the next one would be similar. Here are the pics from the AM hunt:
All clad (no silver on this one for me) and ANOTHER dog ID tag! 4th one this month! Gonna have to get a hold of this owner too!
I returned a few hours later with the GT (wasn't getting back in the water and it was high tide anyway now) hoping to get some better depth and maybe score some good items. Started iut a bit slow, they were still working on the same pile of debris so I hunted a bit and waited till they finished.
Once they moved on I jumped in and started out real slow and covered the whole area. With the exception of some aluminum crap I found almost nothing in this area. A bit puzzled, I felt for sure there would be some good stuff there, I moved up to where another wall had been removed as well with the last debris pile still there. I moved through this same area earlier using the excal with 8" coil and didn't get anything. Now with the GT and moving nice and slow, things started to sound off. Many were a bit faint but after one scoop dug, they would get better. The area pretty much extended from the dune to the damp and was where the wall had been dug out then filled back in. Found a 1945 silver quarter, a Buffalo nickel (can't read the date, even afterr some light cleaning), a 1944 nickel and a few wheaties (most of them toasted and THIN!). One cool find was the tag that has the name C.M. Baylor and Company Norfolk. Didn't find much on them other than that it may have been a door and window frame or furniture manufacturer. Need to look into that more unless anyone else has a clue on that?
One piece looks like a faucet handle. Wondering if it came from the old bath and changing areas that used to be there. Also found a large solid brass lag bolt, an e-cigarette (eyeball find, recent drop) and some cool glass. Not sure what the clear one is. Though it was the neck of a bottle but it is sealed at the end. Anyone know? Thanks for looking!
