Storm Isaias churns up gold, old silver, and more

[lenmac65]

I took this morning off to search a low tide hoping the storm had brought some things up to the surface. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I sure got a lot of hits. The best find is probably the 10K gold ring , which has a maker's mark of GED. I believe that is the George E Darling Co. of Providence, and that it dates from the early 1900s. The other ring is marked .925, and looks rather interesting to me. The Barber quarter is from 1899, which is my first beach find dated from the 1800s. Best I can tell, the Washington quarter is 1935, and must have been in circulation a long time. The Mercury dime is undated, while the Roosevelts are both from the 1950s. The Buffalo nickels have no dates, while the Jefferson nickels are dated 1940 and 1941. While not particularly valuable, the religious medallion is about my favorite find, and is sterling, I believe. Not pictured is the clad, the sinkers, and the many pull tabs I dug. It was a great day overall. Happy Hunting.

Very nice. What is really cool is the variety of coins and dates. .925 usually indicates sterling silver

Excellent! I tried doing the same thing but all I got was mud in my boots, but that's okay.

Nice day there my friend!!! I have only ever found one silver coin on a saltwater beach, 10” deep 1918 walker. I’ll be at the all this week, let’s see if I can’t dig another. Great job brother!!
