In the process of moving, but wanted to hit the ol' silver spot one last time. Now, doesn't mean I won't be back there, but it's a longer drive now and won't be able to go as frequently. The day started off really slow and I had wondered if I picked this place out pretty well. Wheat cents were popping out in areas I hit before, so there was hope. Barely any obvious signals here, but still a lot of targets if you listen and aren't afraid to dig. Guess this place is still producing! The sterling rings were about 2 feet apart and were consecutive signals. Quite the surprise. One is marked "10k Gold Filled & Sterling ESPO". The one round pendant has "Sea Air Land USA" which isn't anything I've seen before.

Wish I could go back this weekend, but it will have to wait. HH all!

    More great stuff as usual....must be nice to have a site like this to play on.

    What kind of site is this? An old dump site or what? Don't want you divulging location, just background info on the site itself.

    I agree, general description of this site?
    An old Church-Religious school?
    You have done well, I enjoy reading your posts and seeing your finds.
    Oh, HH!

    What a fantastic site.... just keeps producing. I agree with the others, if you have some history (without divulging location) of this site, it would sure be interesting. I assume you found it through some research....Cheers, RickO

    It's actually a beach area, and most of the finds have come in the low-tide areas. Surprisingly, it's not affiliated with any church, even though most of the pendants are religious. Surprising how many there are.

    Finally got around to counting the change...

    23 wheat cents and a '42 Canada cent (out of 35 cents)
    6 buffs and a 1939 nickel out of 15 nickels
    15 dimes total, 11 were silver
    5 clad quarters
    1 SBA

    Beach area makes sense.

    A lot of pendants get lost at beaches.... people tend not to notice they are missing until later....Cheers, RickO
