Great Hunt on Long Island Sound Beaches

[Terry Soloman]

Been waiting for my first beach detecting day in 2025, and it was Great! Hunted a couple private beaches near Rye, New York, on the Westchester side of Long Island Sound. Three-hours of sun and fun. My Nokta Legend was smooth as silk, and my deepest silver tried to hide at around 14-inches (Three scoops!).

Nice haul! Were those from areas above the high tide line? I dug a bunch of silver coins at saltwater beaches in this area, and they are mostly dark gray and corroded looking. Your coins look great! Congrats.

Some sweet silvers and a cool token kicker, congrats Terry!

I found one of the quarters and one of the dimes in the wet sand, and both were pretty black before I used a toothbrush and baking soda on them. I got most of it off. The others were found in the grassy part of the back yard where it meets the sand. I cleaned those as well, but all were in much better shape than the wet sand two. You can see the effect on the modern coins. I'll have to tumble those.

I thought it was a token as well, but it's a French 10 Franc coin!

You mention a deep coin after three scoops. How many scoops do you dig for something before you give up on it?

Now that I have a lot of beach experience I almost never have to give up on a target, unless I'm chest deep and in a bad current or get a bad wave.

That's a great ole bunch of silvers. Well done!

It looks like it was a great day in the sand Terry ! Congrats on those coins and especially the 7 silvers.
