my beach finds

wwwtimmcp · Nov 28, 2007

found this stuff at the local beach. the 2 bags are 22.5lbs. of sinkers, 1 quarter,2 dimes,1 nickel, 2 pennies. the lower penny below the watch is a turban head 1808-1814. the date is too far gone to read, the watch is trashed. up top is two ancient folding pocket knives.

A fisherman's mother-load. You should never need to buy another sinker ever again!!!!!

Congrats on the haul.

I heard that lead is quite expensive these days. You made quite a haul. You might try selling some to fishermen you pass when you are detecting on the beach.

well heres a thought to ponder... buy a lead soldier mold..melt the lead sinkers..make lead soldiers and sell those babies... also my early bday gift and xmas gift is a whites dfx...which I have used three days now... and man Iam in detector heaven..but learning too...what can I say, YA just gotta have dirt in your blood, like I do, as I love going out getting all dirty and sandy.... god I love it.... the locals laugh at me..but thats ok, cause when I find that big one..then we see whose laughing.

bootybay, I have lead soldier molds and a train locomotive mold,cannon mold,divers weights molds, and even a coin mold. my dad used to make them when he was a kid. one is a ww1 on horseback. the train is a late model steam train one of those streamlined types.

I found another 2 pounds of sinkers and a 2-3 pound net weight. here on the lakes they used funky U shaped anchors to hold the nets in place and weighted the net in between the anchors. it was 12 inches deep below very hot rocks but the pulse 8 did its job well.

I also found a set of keys and alot of small barbed wire fragments. froze my butt off.

good hunting to all.
