Dual Field, "Poor Man's Backhoe", "super Sifter", two hours of catching the tide right, the goodies uncovered by the receding sand and working my tail off resulted in these recovered keepers.

A half dozen or so quarters, four or five dimes, three or four nickles three wheat pennies, a mercury dime and a 1941 quarter (My Birth Year!!)
A few pieces of trash metal, some fishing tackle and two 10K rings!!
The little seahorse was one of the earlier recoveries. (It seems to be copper.)

The digging is large stones and a real workout for these old bones, but when I bring home the gold, even 10K, I'm satisfied with the hunt!
The rings were a few yards apart and were recovered one after the other.
It has happened like that a few times over the years, but not often.
Respectfully submitted,
CJ
