    Hurricane Bottle

    After the flood waters from Hurricane Sandy receded here in Rockaway Beach,NY, I found this bottle among the pile of debris in front of my house. Anyone have any ideas as to age or any info about who Matt Nester was? I'm guessing around 1880 to 1890 and either beer or soda. It's in surprisingly...

    NEED ID ON OLD MEDICINE BOTTLE

    I was mucking about on the mud flats in Jamaica Bay NY yesterday and found this interesting old medicine bottle. It is 3 inches high, mold blown of clear glass, has a capacity of 4 teaspoons and a feature on the lip that allows for dispensing individual drops of liquid. It also has some markings...

    Help! Need an ergonomic scoop!

    For the last 30 tears, I've been using a short-handled scoop that was made for me by a friend with a welder. It worked well then. It worked well 20 years ago. It worked well 10 years ago. Now I'm 64 with a bad back and two hips in need of some titanium and I find that I need something else...

    First hunt of 2010 in Rockapulco, NY

    37 degrees, cloudy, windy. Stayed until I couldn't hold the scoop or feel my legs anymore. Thought it was close to bedtime too. Did only little bit of change and some junk. Hoping for better weather and better treasure soon. Why did this seem so much easier 30 years ago???? HH ED

    DIRTY TRICK

    the other day I hunted one of the most popular beaches in my area. During the summer this beach is SRO every day. In the past I've done much as $20-$25 a day here. Shortly after I started swinging the other day, I started to get targets on every swing, sometimes multiple targets. The only...

    SKUNKED:cry:

    :cry:The weather report said possibility of a few showers. Hit the beach at about 9:30am figuring to walk down the tide. At about 11:30 I was chased off the beach a half mile away from home by heavy rain. Idiot that I am, I didn't bring the FW gear (showers right!). On the way off the beach I...

    ON RETURNING RINGS

    I've had many experiences over the years with returning rings and other valuables that I've found on the beach; most of them good, some of them bad. Here's an example of each. Detecting around chair marks one evening early in the season, I found a class ring dated the next year and figured the...
