As ye sow so shall ye reap.

I’ve always found that the more random good I do for others, the more the universe seems to be kind to me. Last year I started making coin rings as a hobby. I have bartered with some and gifted some. Now and then I’ll make one less than perfect that I can’t seem to fix. I decided to toss them on random beaches. So far only on Boston’s South Shore. This month we’re going to Myrtle Beach. I’ll seed some down there too. Hopefully make some detectorists day for them.

nice idea.
Good to hear

Nice! Maybe you will see someone post one as a find. How cool. Good job!

You should put some kind of maker's mark on them. (PRG for example). Drive the finders crazy trying to find out who you are. You could become "a thing" in the hobby like that guy that made the counterfeit nickels back in the 1940s!

You can throw one this way lol.

I’m still waiting to hear from someone who finds the Sucrets box. I filled it with wheaties, a few mercury dimes and I forget what else. I buried it about 6” down on Wollaston Beach in Quincy MA. In the dry sand. My business phone # is in there. After 20 years I shut that land line down. But I mentioned it in an article in one of the treasure magazines. If I remember right it’s 10 paces out from the cement wall and ten paces north from the catwalk going out to Wollaston Yacht Club. Towards Squantumn yacht club. I’m guessing anyone who’s detected it discriminated it out as junk and never dug it.

I’ll be putting a few jars of coins out in ky from my currency collection.

I never heard about that, but I’m watching “detect Florida “ right now and he’s hunting Daytona Beach (I used to live there) and he found a buffalo nickel and said it’s the first legit one he’s found on a beach. But he found a few of the gold plated ones some guy was planting. There must be a name for screwballs like us.

Plating gold is tricky. The one metal that plates easily is nickel. Nickel can be plated with a very basic plating kit.

Yes. I have a plating kit. Somewhere. It has a bottle of nickel to be used as a base coat. When we had our bathrooms renovated years ago the bride decided on fixtures half chrome half brass. Problem was nobody made a replacement for my beloved water saver shower head. So I gold plated half of it. Impossible to see the difference.
