At the beach

[Divin]

At the beach with the family getting in some detecting. Game plan is to try to get out at low tide and see what I can find. Did not have much luck yesterday. As I swept my way back towards the house had a find with vdi at 15-17. Dug deep and found a half used tin of grizzly wintergreen chew. At least it got me on the map. Hoping for better finds as we go. ….

I know jkline was on OR beach last week and got skunked. Last I heard a junk earring and a nickel……. We head to the OR coast in two weeks, guess time will tell if us poor people where we go drop more stuff than those rich folks go where Jeff went.

Here was a great resource on Garrett’s site on beach detecting

That pic is Ocean City, NJ in 2013
I as at that hunt and am in the photo.
My opinion is that all beaches will pick up after this Holiday
Happy Fourth to all!

Also it was pre-pandemic, a lot of people got into metal detecting last year and 1/2. A sweep of the coil maintains a perfect 6 feet apart!

Divin, interesting point about distance and metal detecting. I guess it’s one factor in newbies these days.

Elmy, that picture was snapped at the end of a 45 minute seeded beach hunt. No one is digging any tokens at that point.
It was a cold May Day before the holiday and the Army Corp had just replenished the sand two days before the hunt, so there were no fresh drops or beach coins to be had.

Me too, near St Augustine. HH

So far lots of bottle tops, Corona caps the most by far. Some aluminum cans. I did find a gold plated pineapple, either a pin or earring. Most of my finds are at the entrance ways of the beach.

Tony, looks like beach replenishment after Superstorm Sandy as we also had in up in Long Branch. HH

 

[BigTony]

Kschae4, yes it was. Your right, they hit Long Branch and north after Ocean City.
