Went back to a beach I've been hunting lately and was doing ok at, but had gotten sanded in a couple days ago. After the 60 mph winds last night there was a new cut in the beach! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424137934.917599.jpg i was excited when I noticed the erosion and targets started popping up left and right! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424138000.735563.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424138008.084287.jpg i think I found my first large cent!! judging by size. Also found my second seated coin! 1889 seated dime! A mercury dime, and a 1901 IHP along with three wheaties ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424138221.689185.jpg also found a small silver ring, legs to a tin soldier, some fishing lures, a flattened out sinker and a few other finds! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424138308.226550.jpg does anybody know what these are? They're small, lead and have number on them.
Good luck everyone! Happy hunting!

The two small lead items may be lead seals. Like on a sack or some other product ie. bottle of wine, or such.

Great hunt, congrats. Your soldier is what's left of a pre-WW2 Barclay B-91, "Soldier with gas mask, charging." Someone probably used him as a sinker, ugh. Happy Hunting, Sub 8-)

Nice finds I agree the lead pieces may be a "bail seal"
