Every time I think I'm done with the "Erosion Beach" (here in Southern California) I can't resist for just "one more hunt"...
After finding the Dog Tag Monday I was a lot more enthusiastic and decided to try the extreme northern region.
In the wet sand at about 8" deep (the 3rd signal) was a small dirty purple/gray coin. YES! a Silver Rosie. Well, the rest of the hunt was just icing on the cake as far as I was concerned ... I was most content already. Seems when you become content finds "find" you. A second Silver Rosie in my valuables pouch (my right hand pocket).
Clad quarters and dimes were coming fast and furious ...very few nails. I tried a little closer to the surf where I can scrape the coil against the sand and listen for the real deepies. First deepie at about 10" was a Silver piece with a diamond that looked like it came from a broach...about the size of a dime. Three feet away, another deepie about 10". This looked like a ring (and a silent quick prayer "please MAKE it a ring" worked). A Silver ring with a green stone!
Well the rest of the time was a pure joy ..even dug up nails with a smile on my face.
