Two Gold Crowns and Some Shipwrecks (picture heavy)

[UnderMiner]

There are many old abandoned ship yards not too far from where I live. Went to one today at low tide and found a bunch of cool stuff, also got some awesome pictures too.

Do pill bottles beep? They do when they're filled with gold! Found a beeping pill bottle on the beach near an abandoned shipyard and when I shook it I heard something rattling around inside. Opened the bottle and discovered a broken dental piece with two gold crowns and gold bridge!


Picture taken just seconds after discovery:


Also scored some other neat treasures (pretty sure the red glass net buoy is a reproduction):


This ceramic insulator is dated 1929, so cool:


Old small caliber handgun, probably submerged for over a decade:


There were several large bricks of Copper Ore, took as many as I could carry. Probably the remains of a once thriving industry that's now gone.


At low tide many sunken boats and shipwrecks become accessible:

Possibly a relic from Sandy, this boat still has its two Evinrude outboards. A decade ago they would've been taken immediately by scavengers:


This has hardly anything left of it:


A big rusted out Tug Boat, single prop, most likely 1950's or older:



Cabin Cruiser:


Big burnt barge (looks kinda like a sunken pirate ship on the inside):

That's some cool stuff and cool photos. Who knows what else will come out of that area. Don't really know what to say about the teeth but glad they have gold for ya! Haha

Word of advice...

Dental gold is usually of higher karat...
18, 20 and 22 are common... be aware of shiesty test.

Your title said "gold crowns" and I am foaming at the mouth, thinking:

then I realized that the person who lost the teeth probably foamed at the mouth alot too...

Great finds and photo tour through yesteryear, Thanks! Sub

Nice finds! If it were me, I would be all over those Evinrude motors as they could bring a pretty penny or two. Also, I would scavenge as much recyclable metal as I could haul out. The Cabin Cruiser and some of the Barges likely have some usable engine parts that you could get good money from. You have not only found a great place to metal detect but I also bet that a lot of folks would even thank you for removing some of the debris which would go a long way in helping clean up the area. With the right equipment, you could possibly even get a cleanup contract and make some really good dough.
