Went back to the beach cut on Sunday. I was too early! Had to wait for the tide to go out a little.

So I took a walk down the beach on top of the bank. I found some coins on top of the sand.

We had lots of wind that uncovered the coins. I did find a "48s" wheat. And after going thru my finds at home I see I have a "52s" silver dime ;-)

Room to dance ;-)

I got just over $4.00 in clad, a junk ring and a junk pendant:

My wife cleaned up the chain and pendant from Sat AM finds. May be better than I thought :-)
Now I see 5 links of yellow gold and what may be 3 links of rose gold--still has a strange pendant:

    Very nice Jerry. Those oldies do run deep at the beach. Takes a good cut to bring them out.

    I love to hear beach jargon like "cuts" seeing as I don't get to the coast very often. Nice job and pictures, thanks for sharing with us.

    Nice finds, but I love the pictures! The first one is really great, but the second one.. WOW! It jumps out at you as if it were 3-D. I nominate both pictures for next month's photo contest.

    The wife used a Dremel tool with tooth paste ;-)

    Thanks Bob. That photo is of the top of the bank with white water rushing up to the cut below the bank.

    Sometimes the simple photos come out best ;-) Thanks folks.

    Jerry, those are great finds! As usual, I'm drawn to the medal. I'm not sure that it's custom made, but it certainly isn't run of the mill. I agree with MrGuby, you might consider having a jeweler take a peek!
