Got back out to the beach tonight after all the storms rolled through...happy the tornadoes went north of us. Got to MD for about 75 minutes, and found both my coins in the first 20 minutes. 2 Mems- 1990 and 1979D. After cleaning them up I noticed that the 1990 had some odd "bubbling" of the copper. I'm not sure it shows up well in the photo, but it looks as though the copper is peeling away from the inner clad. I've collected coins for years and never seen this. Is this a result of sitting in the sand, or does something else do this?
Regardless, I doubled my finds in one day (of course that isn't saying much when you only find one penny the day before), but the bug is definitely settling in for a long "sickness".
