IMG_2468.JPG This is the picture from last weeks post from dime beach.

So I hit the same spot last night and today. Dimes everywhere! Yesterday (106) dimes...today (75). That's a total of (356) dimes from the same spot. :laughing7:
My friend Dave coined the phrase 'The Bermuda Triangle Of Dimes'. I did pull the remnants of a silver spoon and 1936-P wheatie.

Last night and today's finds........ IMG_2472.JPG IMG_2476.JPG

Here's a couple of pics from today...

It has everything to do with weight and size and tides, currents and wind. The beach is a natural sifter of metalic objects and stones. It arranges them by specific gravity. Ie, heavier items in one concentrated location and lighter items in other locations.
most of your finds are relative light. Another area might produce lead weights and heavy gold jewelry.

This makes sense

Wow!!! Thatโ€™s a lot of dimes.! Better tumble them so theyโ€™ll work in the machine. Rolling that many dimes will be a chore:icon_scratch:

Iโ€™ve heard of people having a diamond mine but, you've got yourself a dime mine. Pretty cool.

Got change for a dollar? Lol

I always enjoy the end of the year clad clean up. Sometime near Christmas I start tumbling my clad finds. It's an all day affair. Everything gets hand wrapped and deposited at the bank.
Got a keep that ten percent the coinstar machine takes...

Every year I pick out a nice graded Half Eagle Liberty or Indian Head on Ebay and put it away.

Way to go Rich. That's a lot of digging. I had one day there with 400 dimes. Sometimes scoop had 3 dimes in it. Thankfully most less than 4 inches deep. only one dime was silver. Keep having fun there

Keep digging, one of my lake spots the older coins appeared deeper after getting all the newer stuff out of the way. Nice finds, you gotta love being able to find that many coins! I seen a couple earrings and a ring in the mix, sooner or later might find the gold deposit.
