Returned to the same beach as yesterday to see what I missed...recent storm gives up

more silver! Still waitin' for it to give up some hidden gold

The barrett( which I think is an antique due to the style) gave off a LOUD high sound...I thought "Oh , yeah...here comes another lead sinker :unhappysmiley:

"

When I retrieved it, indeed I still thought it was a sinker...shape and color convinced me.. until I turned it to view the back of it.

Also found what appears to be a very old "LL BEAN" small pocket watch, but I can't see any hands or numbers on it...so I really don't know what it is,]

Here's pics

Thanks for looking

SILVER! Congrats! :hello2:

Lorraine: You seem to go to some "special" spots to pick up the oldies. Do you have competition there?

Hi Joe,

I have never seen any other detectorists at this beach...I prefer "out of the way " old , sparsely populated beaches because I use the isolated, quiet scene to relax, and meditate while I am detecting, but I also have a group of detecting friends with whom I hunt occasionally at the more populated beaches.

cool finds lorraine! the "pocket watch" may not be a pocket watch? at one time i wonder if you attached items(keys) to the clasp and when pulled down they cable would extend and retract?
