Recent stuff (beach finds and one park find)

Went on a family vacation a week or so ago down to the coast out here in CA. (my folks retired and now live next to the beach) I was able to get a couple hunts in after everyone was in bed, and the tide was low... it turned out to be like hitting a piggy bank! Nothing spectacular (no gold or silver 
) but it was still fun digging as fast as I could while the tide was low and hitting that wet sand.
Here's the "pile 'o finds":
Sorted (close to 200 coins):
And the interesting stuff (some sort of corroded jewelry, rolled penny, and a game token):
Could've easily been ring or pendant pulled out of the beach with that many targets out there, but wasn't meant to be this time.
Another hunt back at home... didn't have much time one night but I wanted to get out, so I hit a tot-lot (following Lodi Tom's lead
) and pulled this 10K gold butterfly ear ring with stones. Threw the collage pic together and thought LM would like the prismatic effect that was captured in one pic (rainbow color in the dark middle spot).
Hope everyone is able to get out more now that the summer months are here.
Happy hunting!

was pretty fun since it was easy diggin'
(even if you did it's too late= the real crusties ended up in the trash)
While I was out there picking those crusty coins up, I was thinking "what a smart move by the government to create a currency that would dissolve in time."
Glad you had fun Rick.

Nice gold!!

That certainly has the "bling" factor. Real gold, too, eh? Nice!
It was a guy asking about why he never found anything on the beaches here... come to find out... no one ever does. Its always just a few coins... nothing ever big. Seems like its hunted to hard, so often, its allready cleaned and you only find recent stuff... so I think it might be pointless.
