[size=medium]I went to a local fresh water beach with my Wader to see what was there. I only found $.72 in change, four 'beaver tail' pull tabs (boy those sure sound like good rings on the Wader).
Also found a common pull tab and an older pull tab and a bottle cap. Interesting find was the door catch with fishing line on it, and tied on very well too. It looks like someone used it for a sinker.
The interesting thing about the coins I found was that there were two nickels one dated 1983 and the other 1985.
A 1999 dime and a 1972d penny. The oldest coin is a 1965 quarter.
Not bad for an hours fun. By the dates on these coins it looks like no one has ever detected there before. I only did about 75% of the beach, so I'll have to get back and do the remainder. If it gets warm enough again I just make go in the water otherwise I'll have to wait until next year.
