at least they used to be
went to a small old spot that a few people still swim at - I believe that someone I took there last year (not where I went with you Ron)
may be hitting there - I found no drops from this year - the soft sand areas were clean
Old oar lock and old swim buckle pieces found a low tide out at my limit
work for 2 hrs with not much to show - started to head in and headed for an area loaded with rocks - no scooping here
had to drop and fan and pull rocks to get what I did - if I did not wear a mask ...I would not have got the keepers I did
I got into the rocks and pulled old key and brass lipstick case. Got a nice signal - looked down and saw rocks as big as your head.
dropped down and pushed them aside - rechecked - still there. Fanned with my dive boot and looked down - bunch of fist size rocks
- dropped down and removed them and fanned again with my hand. Had to do this 3 more times and then saw large blacken disc
plucked it and turned it over in my fingers - it looked slightly out of round and thought it might be a large silver religious medal.
Gave it a rub and front and back crust of it broke off. I was left with a thin Barber half - I could make out the eagle. Was excited to have at least
pulled a piece of silver and it was a good sign there could be more coins and possibly old gold there. I worked my way around some huge rocks
and about 10 ft away from the halve I got another good target. Once again had to move some large rocks and fan and then dropped
down and got to work again. There were 2 large rocks with only about a 3 inch gap between them - signal was in this gap and I rapidly
handed with my hand - when the sand and silt cleared ...I again saw a large black disc and plucked it from the crevice. Gave a rub and this time
it did not break apart. I rolled it around and lightly rubbed and could once again make out the eagle of a Barber halve. I got a few thin wheat pennies
after that - real tough working - tide was coming in. Did manage a crusty old silver ring too - If I go back - will just jump into the rocks
I believe there are a few more goodies in there
