Decided to try a curb strip on my lunch hour. Hot out!

Couldn’t find much, one of my first digs was the Chinese cash coin(?) not sure its legit - anybody know? Would be cool if it was.

Found a few coins and near the end a 925MEX marked earring.

Lot of roofing nails in the strip, sorta chirpy hunting.

Haven’t had a lot of time to get out last month, hoping to turn that around in June!

Happy hunting!

Thanks Cali! Nice to see you posting again

I was hoping for some old coins (silver/buff/wheat) but I’m sure this had been hunted before. But I like the cash coin and the 925 otherwise it would have been only a 51¢ lunch hour
