While looking for a pearl earring, I scored with 50 coins in ONE SCOOP!
A blast in the headset was MUCH bigger than the earring I was searching for, but
I HAD to dig it.


In the scoop was a roll of dimes precariously held together by its dissolving bank wrapper.
Too bad they were all clad.

Wait..... I just got this horrible picture in my mind... This dude that looks like an ancient lizard, trolling up and down the beach in front of the ladies wearing nothing but a pair of speedos and a huge grin.... I think I've got to throw up now :laughing7:

He should use halves or a few rolls of silver dollars next time!
Dimes are our smallest coins...strange dude.
That's what you get for eating alligator meat. It will make you conjure up such thoughts, hey, how about double eagles...
I still have one on my bucket list, but I'd take a roll of them.

Just really glad they were still in the roll. I could not imagine pinpointing such a spill with a 15" coil...
