John it was great meeting you on Saturday. Too bad you could not stay longer and I apologize about the Cold Water!

Those crusty coins are both silver dimes but there is not enough detail to tell what they are. From past experience I presume they are Mercs. This is the only beach around that old silver get that thick crust on them.

Looks like I missed some good detecting!!! I have found a few beaches where the black crud is bad. You can wait till it dries and then break it off to find what the coin is. I can't read the ring. Do you know what it says?


Great finds. Water isn't that cold anymore!!!
