Hi
Well, after yesterday's haul of sinkers, it was nice to see gold in my scoop.
I worked hard to get this one ; got to the beach at mid-low tide; scanned the beach and set up 3 theatres of operation :
#1) shoreline
#2) rocky area
#3) "muddy flats"
The first two yielded only clads, but oh, those muddy flats...gotta love 'em!
Found a medium sized trough and hunted in the water and around the perimeter.
It was in this area that I found the 14 K gold cross ( ankle deep water) and the silver coins ( perimeter mud.)
Here is a link to info on the Byzantine cross and a pic of it selling for a tidy sum

Check out # XR 568
Also found an ACL coke bottle embossed on base: Pittsburg Pa Bottle Trademark.
Thank you for looking
