:usaflag: Hunted Some Pretty Rough Water This AM!!:detecting:

[Cupajo]

Caught the tide as it was an hour or so into the transition from dead low to high and by staying in the lea side of the sand bar was able to find a few coins until an hour or so later.

The waves started making it past the bar to where I was hunting and I spent the next hour and a half struggling to stay in the water as Old Ma Nature tried to toss me on the beach!!

As I mentioned in my post of yesterday, there are often items of enterest we recover from time to time such as the manufacturers brass plate that I suspect may be a collectors item these days.

Among the 27 recovered targets is also the smallest silver religious medal I ever found along with a tiny bit of silver chain that may be a piece of one I found yesterday.

The usual bullets, one junk ear-ring and the first torpedo shaped sinker I ever found plus 6-coins rounded out the finds for the hunt.

Thanks for your replies Friends!

The waves, while usually not very large here, are a problem because of the bottom being slippery in spots with mossy small boulders making footing iffy at best.

The tag is from a company still in buisiness and over a hundred years old.

They have been vertually hand crafting boats for all those years!

I'm glad to add it to my collection of keepers,

I have fond two brass plates in MI for different old boats and was offered 50.00 each from two different peole. I can't wait to find a whole intact old boat in one of my lakes. Only one I have found here is a paddle boat that filled full of water!! Anyway, somebody restoring one of those old boats just might need a plate and there are also collectors of them.

Love the old picture on it!!! Keep em coming!!! I am sooo green with envy!!!!
