First half of June finds/What are they question

[holey smoke]

The weather is heating up, but no one seems to be getting in the water. I hunted a few Sat afternoons and you'd think the water would be packed, but no. Just me out there answering "the question" to folks on the beach*. Well, a few more weeks and it will be July and hopefully things will pick up.

Mostly basic stuff here. Jewelry is mostly junk, but the ring in the middle is silver and turquoise. Just found that today. I did some wet sand and dry sand hunting, but mostly waist-chest deep finds. The big coin is a copper 1 oz bullion coin I put in a thread of it's own. The chain was found balled up in wet sand and boy, I thought it was silver. No luck there, junk. The little bead bracelet has a silver clasp, but I think I will not put it in my totals. But my wife wants it...

First time I found a set of earrings one after the other. They don't look to be fresh drops, either. One has a key on it for some reason. The biggest earring matches one I found last month.





Believe it or not, most of the garbage is not pictured, but goes straight into the trash. But I kept these out- what they heck are they? I find them all the time, but only on one beach. Can you help?



*"What's the best thing you've ever found?" is the question, of course.

You're finding jewelry and clad, you're on the right path there.... The last things, i'm not sure, maybe some weird tent pegs?

Those are tines off of the beach rakes... good job on the finds..

They're the tines (stainless) from the beach cleaning machines.

Thanks for the quick (and correct) answer! Also explains why I find them on the rocky beach and not on the soft sand ones.

Your really pulling a lot out of the ground. I'd go with the beach rake theory. HH
