Early this AM I took these pics and decided if the temperature got in the 30s I was going water hunting.

There is a barge in tow along the Long Island channel in the background behind the "Tide Rock".

The water was smooth as glass when the air settled down.

Later a gentle breeze picked up out of the south, but it was still great to get out for a couple of hours.

I got 4-quarters, 2-nickles, 1-dime, and 1-penny, a couple of bottle caps, a couple of small brass pieces of hardware. some steel wire as thin as a needle, 1-small brass ring that had been plated and 1-silver ring.

A couple or three pieces of aluminum rounded out the take and with the sun sunk in the west I hauled my carcass back to the truck and home.

I keep forgetting to mention about how at certain times of day this is the main flyway for commuter craft along the shoreline, plus Amtrac has a very active track about a quarter mile away and that really plays the devil with the PI detectors signals.

Everything considered I done good Gang!!

I did a quick re-count a few minutes ago and found that I had miscalculated yesterdays finds!

There are 4-quarters (1-is a 1951 silver), 4-nickles, 2-dimes and 4-pennies along with the usual scrap metal (bottle caps etc.).

One interesting find is the bullet of what appears to be .45 caliber.

It has an indented base which I have not ever seen in a round nosed bullet before except in old black powder bullets.

I have found lots of bullets while water hunting this beach and the only explanation I could come up with is off season target practicing many years ago.

That wouldn't be allowed today.
