Well, tonight after work and dinner, I set out to see what was up. I searched around for about 45 minutes while indulging some onlookers. I found a modern dollar, a few interesting pieces of nothing, and a lot of junk. As it was starting to get dark, and everyone was heading home, I swung down around the high side of a gravel cut. And then I got a really nice signal. Can't remember what it read, but it was a nice clear high tone each direction. I dug it, and my first thought was that it was a large cent. It was big and brown, but then I saw George VI on it, and well that can't be a large cent! I turned it over, and there was the crest and at the top as clear as day "50 cents!" My first ever silver!

There was a lot of iron nearby, so that might explain the color, but I don't care, it is my first silver and it is big! I was grinning ear to ear, and made a quick video on the spot. It was getting dark fast, and I had a long ride back on the motorcycle, so I headed back and found a '68 penny on the way, which is a good sign. All in all a worthwhile trip that got me on the silver scoreboard. I'll be heading there again soon, hopefully at low tide, and I'll post anything good that I find.
HH!
