Not often I find a walking half, but, finding a couple of Washington quarters and a silver Roosevelt dime makes for a good day at the beach these days. A 1928S wheatie rounded up the older coins, and you can see the other stuff. After a bit clean up, I can still only see one mint mark....the 1942S Washington. Salt water can be pretty hard on silver.

Congratulations on the good finds and fun hunt. Those poor silver coins may not be pretty, but at today’s silver price they are well worth the effort. Stay safe, good luck and keep swingin.
 
That's a really good day of silver recoveries. @$60+ face it buys a smile. Congrats
Was the shaving brush an eyeball find or is the handle metal?

Eye ball. Why a shaving brush is at the beach is beyond me.....

Not up on brush and shave method, but it's possible a guy on a boat dropped it overboard.
Then again many boat guys have never seen a razor.
 
It was above the high tide line and it doesn't float, so, very unlikely it came off a boat....unless the sailor walked ashore to shave! :laughing7:

Either way I’m sure he was pissed he lost it.
