4 silver half dollars - certainly a record for me

[time4me]

I had a few hours to drive to the beach and detect this morning, but rather than the typical recent drops you'd expect to find in August, I felt like I was hunting in January or February!

4 Walking Liberty Halves
1 Silver Washington Quarter
3 Mercury Head Dimes
1 Silver Roosevelt Dime
2 Buffalo Nickels
A bunch of 40's/50's Jefferson Nickels
19 Wheat Cents

Also found a new dollar coin, a bit of clad, a small silver ring circa 1940's/1950's, and a small silver earring with gold jump rings and hook.

The silver was all very toasted, so I gave up on cleaning it after my transformer burned up.

Here's everything straight from the pouch...

The keepers...

Cleaned a couple of the walkers and ring...

I was really hoping for some old gold. I know it's gotta be there. I hope to get back to this spot as soon as I can.

Happy Hunting,

Jim

Excellent day at the beach! The condition of the silver is pretty typical of silver coins pounded in that salt water. Still a great find!
