So we had another good day at the beach. We decided to hit up another beach close to us. It was a swimming pond that had been closed down for quite some time. I being hopeful thought we would have alot of luck but found just some normal things untill we moved to the parking lot. Still alot out there to be found. Just wasn't enough daylight. Some coins, sinkers, one 22 cal. un-fired bullet, four 22 cal. long shell casings, a slug from a spent round, a finger nail clipper and a ear-ring. Not sure if its a real diamond or fake. Really not sure on how to figure out if its real. By far the finger nail clipper has been the oddest thing we have found in our exploring. And as the title says I forgot the best thing we found ontop of the car. And to our dismay took off without bringing it into the car with us. Just kidding! Was just a weight for a tire, but it taught me a lesson thou! Got some pictures hope you enjoy. Nothing special for us today, but I was told its mandatory to post your findings lol. Oh I almost forgot the new pet we found. A poor snail that almost lost its life over a pop tap. We figured we owed it a new home in the aqarium.

You found a slug AND a snail. Congrats.
Good luck on the earring. Take it to a jeweler, and they can tell you if it's real for no charge. They have a small electronic test tool they will check it with.
Keep us posted.

those empty shell casings are .17's

And your "slug" is a worm sinker.


Careful with that snail in your aquarium. Last time we tried snails they took over the tank.

the pointy bullet looking slug looks like a bullet sinker.. to me anyway

Looks like you beat me to the punch
 
Good luck with the Snail as well as the earring....What was Sponge Bob's snail's name?

But Sandy is the squirl! LOL

Great post Tabby... I guess you figured out your technical difficulties... good job!

I think the snail is great... and any jeweler can tell ya about the earing.

Keep it up!
 
Lesson Learned, thank you.
Happy Hunting

We named her Sandy because we found her at Sandy Hollow. Otherwise it should've been Gary. LOL thanks guys
