Was searching the beach today and thanks to the ultra-low tide was able to make some interesting finds. Among them was a small bag, inside of which was a rusty can-opener, a $5 Bill (that looked like it had just come from the depths of hell), and a 14K gold and red coral "corno amulet"! Took the bill and the amulet, left the can-opener. Also found a pirate looking skull thing, marbles, an inlaid mother-of-pearl gold-plated container, a huge cowrie shell, a hallmarked silver fork, a little carved bone statue of a man, and a glacial drop-fossil of an immaculate ancient Horn Coral (likely from southern Canada, naturally deposited on Long Island some 21,000 years ago as the glacier melted). Pretty cool day

Found these artistic skulls in the water near the hoard, argh! It's certainly official pirate plunder now!
(that black rectagle is actually an ancient $5 bill:


The day's best finds, clad and a few other things not pictured:

The condition of this $5 bill makes the $20 bills lost by D. B. Cooper look immaculate. I doubt the bank will give me a new one

Glacial-drop-fossil deposited by the last Ice Age, a very nice Horn Coral fossil:

A huge cowrie shell that someone must have lost, these shells are not native:

A silver fork with some hallmarks of some kind on it:


Gold-plated and mother of pearl inlaid container:
