Christmas in March!

Since I have been cranking out 70+ hours a week working, I needed to get my groove on and start swinging away come rain or tidal currents. Hit the beach that I was working until the freeze over this past fall. Dug a 51' Franklin, Standing liberty, 41' Washington, 50',56',57' Rosies, 3 Buffalos, 2 42' War nicks and a bunch of cooked wheaties and some other junk. Raining and absolutely muddy, yes, well worth it...you bet!

Felt good to get out again, this beach is amazing, I don't know why so many coins are present there, it never was a swimming beach..I mean I found pretty much everything under the sun there, except my first NY Indian head its been 7 years since I moved here from jersey, still not a one...the irony.

I would still be there if it wasn't for the rain, I was absolutely soaked..

What was really disappointing was these two coins that I dug up today, they had some heft in your hand so my mind was running, only to find out that they are cooked silver a rosie/washington. ..only in NY have I ever dug coins that were encapsulated. ..odd

At lest you didn't have to walk around beached icebergs!

Maybe something in the water/mud makes them tarnish that bad. I bet my hillbilly zapper could restore them to a much more recognizable state?

 

[MuckyBottles]

Yup, Treb. Did that..lol
