Here is what I found today at Fort Myers beach during low tide, about waist deep!
One quarter, nickel, three pennies, ring and some sort of fused shells with metal in between.

just dissolve the shells with muriatic acid, avoid breakage

I love the crusted over stuff.

Never know what's inside.

Will a magnet attract what's inside?

Often it is easy to talk a vet or a dentist into an xray to see what is in the encrustation if you want to know.

The vets that do field portable xrays are the best, their machines are the most powerful.

On the Cobra, it is probably better than most detectors from 20 years ago, and look what we found then!
