Sunday silver - Monday silver & gold

[CASPER-2]

hit a small saltwater beach in RI on sunday - best was 2 silver quarters


hit an old Ma. beach on Monday at low tide as far out as I could go - first target was 1908-o barber half
5th target was old 14k wedding band - got a 1950 franklin half - a merc and a silver class ring

good signs - for newbies or even veterans that may miss
brass bathing suit buckles and brass beach tags - pre WW II
when war started they stopped using brass for these items = along with brass bathing cap snaps
you start finding these - you should find old gold & old silver
I know I have 99% of the time

That's awesome that you found a barber and a Franklin half in the ocean. They had to look awesome on the scoop.

Very nice ring too!

Beautiful old band. The script Really gives the ring a personality, if they could only talk...With the script it is possible...

the soil in this spot is weird - some stuff comes out with a lite crust and after being in the pouch banging around come out kinda clean - other stuff is double in size with heavy black crust - the merc was really caked hard - the class ring had thick coat but me dropping sinkers on top of it in my pouch - not only broke the stone but broke the crust and it fell away easily - the franklin came out pretty much as is - there are real sandy/muddy areas - rocky areas and then shells and clam bead areas here and that id why I think there is a diversity - gold comes out gold though as always - ive hit here like 6 times in last 4 yrs and have gotten 6 halfs so far - I feel there is more out in the deeper water - hoping to get out there farther this year
