Looks like you had fun and got a lot of finds.congrats

I did not go to the south of the pier so I did not see the black stuff they were spraying. I was on the beach at around the 125th street or Avenue. I worked about a half mile or a little more each way. Beautiful beach. I will have to detect there again. There are some really knowledgeable and professional detectorists there. I hope to learn half as much as some of them know about this addiction at some point in time. So rule number one is to always take time to enjoy yourself while at the beach, and if you get to take your grand kids, then I know you had a really good time...HH...Stuart
