Big silvers 1915 barber 1945 walker trifecta of silver dimes back to 1899!

It’s been an incredible few beach hunts one old spot on the river gave up the 1899 barber dime and 1943 Washington and a 1948 half crown.
Then a stop at my local beach 5 minutes from my home and in the purple black sand one strip I had a 93-94 I knew it was a large silver one inch down was a 1945 walker and very close by a 1945 mercury dime! I also found two silver rings on this beach using my Manticore beach low conductor.
So I was off to another beach I hunt one town over and they pulled a ton of sand out of the water dredging and layer it on the beach for a protection berm from storms.
We’ll just hunting along in front of the berms I had a mercury dime then a 93-94 to my surprise antique silver half a 1915 barber! Well on my way back on this beach I had another great signal 94-95 dug down 14+” and I thought i found a silver dollar it’s an medallion I believe solid silver with a seagull on it ! I also got two more mercury dime dates? And a silver Rosie I thought I had a gold ring but it’s plated and I also got two more small silver rings and lots of clad about $9.00 and some Pennie’s cashed in $45.00 worth of clad last weekend for a few beach hunts not the first time I’ve found a few halves on beaches but it’s not common anymore.
Here’s some pics of the berms and erosion.
Thanks for looking and HH

Man you've got some good spots. Congrats on another silver haul. Love the seagull medallion. Still looking for a Barber half. Maybe this year. I have AT-LC as my go to mode as well. I put an environmental cover on mine and last outing I puled a bonehead move. While trying to brighten the screen I was mistakenly holding in the wrong button and did a factory reset. Duh ? Well I hurried up and tried to put the settings back in but in my haste failed to get things just the way I like them. Won't make that mistake again. Good luck. Mark

Hey thanks guys I’m in Ct and the ground is frozen pretty solid beaches here are the only game right now and thankfully they’ve been great!

Yes Jeff On one beach I believe the Barber half and mercury dimes were dredged up as they were at the base of the piles
only 1" down I will keep going there cant wait to see what gets spread out. In one spot the whole parking lot is filled with material 15' 20' high I'm going today get on top of them.

They won't turn the beach here on lake Erie shores.
Just power rake it. I think they get all the chains that way.
Wish I could take my mini loader down and turn it myself. Heck I'd run a trommel and clean the whole beach for free.
Be fun to keep detecting those spots as the waves break down those piles.
Good Luck
 
Thanks they have excavator still on the beach with a extra long arm on it to reach way out for dredging just yesterday I saw a mini bobcat probably there to get ready to spread it back out on the beach.
Parking here in spring is resident only so I’m hitting as much as I can I’ll go at night if I have to.
