After finding that; anything!!!! You never know what you will find at the beach from hotwheels, gold rings, change,pipes, phones just to name a few.The sand is a treasure trap.

A nice small private beach would be nice here the beach is so vase. I was very luck to come across the Morgan it made me wonder what is still hidden under the sands and I've gone over the area many times and obviously still haven't covered every spot. I hope you find some great stuff.

Swear to "GOD"...I did, Pictures tonight when I buy a camera. I was surprise myself, I've been hunting that beach for 6 years now and a first time for me.I have found a silver dime and quarter there too, once.

I heard the silver Umax love silver ( I guess the machine wants to impress me). Well it did.Found it @ Beach and PCH parking entrance 25 feet from the bench mark. "I forgot my smoke @home....Just kidding, Lol."

Thanks.....well the pics have to wait, need to purchase a camera. tried my phone I forgot I blocked the text-message.
i think it was a conversation piece fell out of the old pocket. never know what you will find with millions coming through here each year. I don't think it will happen again, now...a nice gold coin would have been nice too.

Happy hunting to all, will post pics soon along with all the other finds since the 1st of year.most of the change found spent on batteries and parking already. :occasion14:

Nice machine for sure, nice sound to it. It' like driving a luxury car.I was very suprise it held up in wet sand too.

Re: I heard the AC was getting old silver again

A friend of mine came back from Atlantic City and said that they were bringing sand to the beach that had old silver. I could not validate this, but was waiting for reports on T-net to confirm. Anyone else hear the same thing?

Maybe it fell off of one of those belt buckles people wear.
