Hit the beach today

[knarfj]

The tide and weather were with me today so I gave a new area on the beach a go. Just to be different I'm posting most the targets dug. I managed to get away with the vast majority a targets being non-farrus.I dug a total of 6 iron nails. If you look close you'll see my first, yes first, silver for the year. It's a Standing Liberty quarter about center in the image. It's in kinda rough condition as most coins are when exposed to the effects of salt water over time. But........I finaly broke the ice.

Congrats on the hard-to-find Standing Liberty quarter. You removed some nasty sharp metal from the beach too.

Thanks all for the comments. Yes there is a bit of clad in the mix, it seems hard to believe, for me any way, clads have been in circulation now for 48 years. That's 2 years before I bought my first detector.

There is also a V-nickel in the mix also but one has to really look close, while in hand, to make out any of its identifying details. That makes the second *V* I pulled from this beach recently. Some of the pennies I would like to think were IH but there so far gone it's only speculation on my part by judging how deep they were, on many there just thin flat copper disks.

Take care and HH
