Outer Banks 6 Day Hunt-DAY 2-SPANISH COB, RINGS and COINS

[Jimmy D]

Today was DAY 2 of our 6 day hunt of the Outer Banks (Northern Section). The Nor Easter cut the beach down even more last night, about 6-10 more inches of sand came off. The wave action still covered the entire beach during high tide in the morning. We met a local today who showed us his prize find which was a BIG gold ring with 3 large diamonds, very nice. While he was with us, my Dad found a Spanish Silver Cob! Yes, he did the dance in the middle of the beach, he located the cob closer to the dunes (top side of beach), I located 2 more rings, as funny as it sounds I found an EXACT match to the ring posted yesterday, and an AVON Sterling Silver ring with fake stones. My brother also located a ring which he is posting seperate look for RIVER RAT's posting. In total today, my Dad, myself, brother and mother found a total of 171 coins, 1 Spanish Silver Cob, 3 rings, one old coin encrusted in coral, will work on it to get it out. One picture is of an old ship wreck exposed from the storm, it is underwater during high tide........

DAY 2 Totals:
83- Pennies
11- Nickels
31- Dimes
46-Quarters

Way to go guys. I really like that cob. Keep hitting it hard and I can't wait to see the ring totals at the end of the trip. Stay safe and keep it coming.

Congrats!

My wife wants me to do more beach hunting (which I hate) so that I can find her some jewelry. Your post inspires me to get down to the shore and check out what those Nor'Easters expose.

Nice finds!
