Went to 2 different locations over the weekend. Both locations might be virgin sites but I know for sure that one was. I have yet to count the clad but this particular beach was so loaded that at times I got 3 coins in a single scoop and many times 2 coins per scoop.

Super fun and exciting hunt. Tons of targets, absolutely gorgeous location and super digging conditions.

I could use a little help on the old choker...it rang up on the AT Pro smack dab in the middle of the gold range (50's) but if anything it looks like silver. I took some close ups of the hallmarks and am hoping the jewelry gurus can help a brother out.

Also if anyone can give me any info on the flat round lead object marked "120-8 V" I would appreciate it.

One definate 10k wedding band, 14k earring, a nice assortment of silver rings (8 of 'em I think), titanium wedding band, stainless band, 1964D Rosie, 1916S Merc ( I know, I about crapped my drawers), my first silver war nickel 1943P, some wheats, Bulova watch, Bulova pocket watch lid, miscellaneous nitro blings, 1959 silver peso, a diving knife, a few tax tokens, etc but I think my favorite find of the weekend was the lady and the moon brass belt buckle.

Take care and happy hunting!

There's one ring in that set of 8 that looks like the one i found in my front yard. The angular one that's missing the stone. I have one just like it missing the stone too. its a junky ring but i love it cause i found it in my yard. Congratulations on such a sweet haul. Looks like a dream come true.

Ok, I almost forgot one of the neatest finds. Friggen' Stealth 720i tore it right in half....ripped my heart in half too. Fortunately I was able to retrieve both pieces. As a side note, I do take half the responsibility for the damage:BangHead:

Total clad count for the weekend: $34.96
2 halves, 84 quarters, 88 dimes, 59 nickels and 219 pennies.
I also found 6 more wheats...
Couple silver plated spoons, two cell phones, old pocket knife, etc.
