Today at the beach I saw this

[TORRERO]

I just HAD to hunt it for old money, although I got a lot of regular coins I only got this 1 old dime 🫣😩
(1944)
Then the police showed up and asked me to leave 😂🤣
(It wasn’t posted BTW and nobody was there 🤷🏼‍♂️)

Looks like a great spot to detect before the land is covered over with buildings and a parking lot. Metal detecting would do no harm.

Some Karen must have called in on you, I doubt the police are out just looking for detectorists to hassle.
Nice dime!

Congrats on finding the Merc !

I've been asked to leave a few Demolition sites.
It's understandable that the property owner could see it as a liability.

Like the dime! Better luck on your next hunt!

my sentiments exactly.. Hunting for 40+ years and I can't ever remember being run off a construction site by the police...

Nice dime!

I'm sure that's what happened because I have never had the police stop me in a construction site before when there was nobody there and it wasn't posted..

Looks like you got to be the first one to hunt it.

Actually I use the DEUS II, and I've done better in the last 6 months than I have in the last 6 years.. So I'm not too worried about my "next hunt" 🤣

 

[TORRERO]

And I'm thinking I covered at least half of it before the popo showed up....
So I was surprised I did not get more old money... years ago I popped a silver quarter in a place like that in downtown Myrtle Beach, nobody said anything..
Another lot in surfside beach produced a buffalo nickel... no problems there either...
you just never know..

Nice job on the Merc.

It works this way. If you do not own it or it is not public/. You HAVE to have permission to hunt it

 

[UnderMiner]

The secret is to wear a white helmet a reflective vest and have a lanyard around your neck with an ID badge holder containing a white piece of card. You'll look so official nobody will ask anything of you (you may even be able to order them around).
