Hi:hello:

Well, after yesterday's haul of sinkers, it was nice to see gold in my scoop.8-)

I worked hard to get this one ; got to the beach at mid-low tide; scanned the beach and set up 3 theatres of operation :

#1) shoreline

#2) rocky area

#3) "muddy flats"

The first two yielded only clads, but oh, those muddy flats...gotta love 'em!:hello2:

Found a medium sized trough and hunted in the water and around the perimeter.

It was in this area that I found the 14 K gold cross ( ankle deep water) and the silver coins ( perimeter mud.)


Here is a link to info on the Byzantine cross and a pic of it selling for a tidy sum:icon_thumleft:

Check out # XR 568


Also found an ACL coke bottle embossed on base: Pittsburg Pa Bottle Trademark.

Thank you for looking

Lorraine
