First find of my new hobby

[Roseburger]

It's not much but my wife and I had a blast digging up this (and a bunch of trash) on the beach this morning. At least our shell game was on point.

Gotta start somewhere. They get better the longer you keep at it. You will accidentally run into good stuff.

Welcome to TNet, and a hobby that you will enjoy the rest of your life. It's great that you and your wife enjoy it together! My first "major" find was Indian Head cent. It remains one of the most special pieces I have in my collection. Best of luck to you in the future.

Welcome to Tnet and the hobby. The beaches are where it is at. Good luck out there.

Lead can be a tricky target. Nice work!

Also, if you hoard enough Lead (by-product of detecting beaches) you can sell it for scrap. I scrap mine from the fields every 5 years, & it will surprise you.

I fish also, I recycle back into my tackle box. Keep at it dig everything and you will find treasure if you are persistent.
