I’ve been hitting the beaches fishing has been not good except for blackfish .
Got a nice sterling ring and a sterling earring and another small sterling sand dollar shaped piece of jewelry.
I went back to a river spot for a mercury dime and a barber mercury was a 1942 and the barber was a 1903. Today I stopped at a spot that I’ve done real well at and had a few old worn pennies then a nice deep hood high tone but not like on in the soil it’s a totally different ball game in the saltwater you have to dig the good not so good signals because of how the silver breaks down sure enough over 10” down in the hard packed clay mud was a Ben Franklin half totally crusted over this is why the signals are not the best most would probably never fig the coins I dig up because it’s not a great sounding signal it was a Ben Franklin half and a silver Rosie worn so thin in with the Franklin I’ve included photos of before and after the removal of the crust the coin lost about half its original weight! Compared to the Franklin it just dug in the ground lots of clad quarters dimes pennies I throw out their so toasted.
Using my manticore beach low conductor with my 9” coil which is probably not coming off.
Thanks for looking oh found the bracelet at work it turned out to be a co worker very sentimental to her she was glad to get it back!
