bombs! WW1 and WW2 ordinance. Just reading the article in recent Coin World about the closing of a NJ beach after 1,000's of bombs were found, first discovered by a metal detectorists hunting for coins after the last big storm. I wonder what the detector registered it as? And the look on his face after digging it up- think I would put it back.

    Pah. We've got a lost nuke here on the GA coast. A hydrogen bomb, no less.

    The Tybee bomb.

    Amazing how cavalier our armed forces were with nukes back in the 1950s and '60s.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
