Got in a quick 2 hour hunt yesterday where I found the University ring in December before the sun set.

Of the 20 targets recovered (I hunt slow and steady!!) this is the most interesting.

It was buried deep in sand within a clay like layer.

Surface etching is visible, but the detail is in pretty good shape considering.

I am so happy to see you are out and finding some interesting metal as well as sharing your day with us!:please:
You cannot know how encouraging it is to the ones of us locked inside with only our hopes and dreams of an early Spring to sustain us!:beers:
Nice work there CJ!

Thanks Mud!!

The water temps at 39 Degrees, but as I mentioned before choosing that rare day with calm winds and seas, wearing the right waders etc. and using care in moving about can get a dedicated hunter "out there"!!:detecting:

(I prefer air temps above 32 degrees too!!):biggrin:

This winter my workload, family obligations and weather conditions have conspired against me get out for a water hunt, but soon I hope that will change!

Nice one .you would probably have a hard time finding a nicer one in saltwater. I have found a few coins in the clay layer in farm fields and it also seems they are in better shape than those found closer to the surface.i imagine the oil in the clay has something to do with it.
 
Nice looking coin for salt water. I found one in a lime sink near my house and it was in worse shape. I hope to be out in my chest waders tomorrow, but wish I had a wetsuit. GL & HH.
 
Last summer i found a quarter and a nickle after a beach was replenished. both were in the same shape as yours.I was thinking the same thing, why they weren't beat up more.
 
Hey CJ,
Any Buff you can read the date clearly on is a great find in my book. I pulled a pristine 1943 steel penny from 6 inches of sand in 6 inches of low tide water a few weeks ago and believe it had to have been thrown from the pier within a few weeks, though why is a mystery. Clearly you have a survivor that must have sat in a clay pocket or something. Super nice find!
 
hi cupajo, this takes me back a bit (showing my age ! )i remember these when i was a kid in south carolina in the fifties
 
Lots of the "old" coins I find these days were in general circulation when I was a youngster.:biggrin:

Lots of memories get stirred up when I recover them especially the Buffalos since I saw lots more of them than silver coins!!:thumbup:
