Surf God gives up Silver for Night Hawk

[David from Suffolk]

Hit the beach around 9:30 last night for the ll:43 low tide.It was a really nice night.Temp around 34 with the wind blowing out of the east.Burrer But I was dressed warm and did not get cold.Had a full moon and I did not see any other pirates at all.Targets were scarce but there was a few and they were scattered around just had to find them.There were horse shoe crabs all over the beach last night.

There also was about a 1 to 2 foot cut all the way down the beach.

Nice one Dave, but how did you clean it? When I find silver like that on the beach I can never get all the black stuff off.

I use Electrolysis and then polish with some jewelry roughe.Here is a couple links on how to build your own Electrolysis and get some Jewelry Rouge

Time to come down here to Florida. I sure dont miss those cold days up north.

Its a brisk 73* and windy today. Strong winds out of the east pushed the tide out even lower than normal today. But even here the beach crowds are down and so are the finds.

BTW...Did you have the plate made up or is that from a kit?

I ordered the plate off the internet at this site below.
