some other finds made on monday I got 5 gold
tiny gold wedding band I found was found in middle of small iron
pieces in lower left - I found a few more than that too - was surprised when I saw tiny gold in bottom of my hand scoop
instead of another piece of rusty steel and this was on my way heading out -
aluminum shaker cap in middle is about size of a half dollar - huge ring around it is lead
dont know what it went to - looks like a batting weight lead strip at top looks like might have been a boat patch - it had some tar on it too when found
most of the sinkers look older
bronze pin next to knife blade looks old - ends are hammered - might be off a boat
brass object inside of hook - is another one of those "good signs"
it is an old bathing cap snap - if you go back to my original post - you will see a brass bathing suit buckle
(which are always a great sign)
buckle was my first target that day - which perked me right up - not to far from it I found a Merc dime and little farther I found large old gold signet ring
hook is big - probably for stripper - this beach has a lot of strippers - people feed them in shallows during the summer
always tell friends to fish there but none try it - if I was into spear fishing - would make a killing
bronze ring at bottom right looks like something off a boat
I found a few other old brass and bronze bits and pieces I did not put in pic
I dont mind finding lead,copper, brass and bronze
beats finding bottle caps and pulltabs though
