Slow days at the beach

[Narthoniel]

Last few days of hunting have been pretty unproductive. about 5 bucks in clad, and a few trinkets. I am still trying to figure out why someone took this little jewelry box onto the beach. It was down in the wet sand, about 50 feet below the high tide line. The wheat penny took me by suprise as well. Seems to be in great shape, and it too was in the wet sand. I am not sure tho, was it '42 or '43 that they made steel pennies? The ring is a junker, but looks pretty cool. the bracelet is silver I think, but I am not sure. The toe ring is silver, but so little its not even funny. And the little earring and bracelet are nothing much, but still neat looking. I found all of the fishing tackle in a 6x6 foot area. I want to kill a fisherman, there is more there, I just got sick and tired of digging up all that lead.

Here is hoping for great weekend hunting!

i believe steel pennies were made for two years, 1943 and 1944. found me a wheaty last week in the dry sand as well, didn't realize it until i got home. good scores!

Steel pennies were made in 1943

the person probly took the jewelery box with them so they wouldn't lose their jewelery. Guess the best laid plans do go astray at times.
Nice finds.

Finds look great even though they may not hold much value. The wheat looks like a 42 to me. Save the lead as you may be able to sell them to some local fisherman or someone else on the net may have a better way to get ride of them.

I'd say a pretty good haul there! WTG

Your bracelet looks like it has the same clasp as the one I found earlier this year. Mine is silver. The marking is on the large clasp end in the left of your photo if it is the same as mine. It is small writing but it is there. That is a nice one also. Mine is made with a butterfly design. You don't see that type of clasp on too many fake jewelry pieces.

Here is a pic or two of mine. One kind of shows where the marking is. I would bet that yours and mine were made by the same folks.
